Founders of IMPACT

IMPACT is founded and designed by six education professionals; explorers, entrepreneurs, individualized learning experts, independent & international administrators and outdoor education experts. Administrators and teachers have collaborated to create an alternative choice for students and families to pursue their educational endeavors in a new way - based completely off of the research and wisdom by the likes of the great educational thinkers and philosophers John Dewey, Paulo Friere, and Horace Mann. With over a hundred years of leadership experience focusing on experiential and interest bases high rigorous learning, our team cares deeply about finding new ways to better serve students who are driven to change their world and communities. Our focus is to help influence the change to the original schooling - brick and mortar - to a more authentic and organic learning experience with individualized caring adults.

My passion is for the alternative. Making sure schools can better serve different students' needs. We cannot teach the students of the future with the ways of the past.
