Meet Your Teacher

Adrienne W.

After years in traditional classrooms, I discovered my true calling in microschool education where I can really get to know each student and their family. I believe in creating a joyful learning environment where mistakes are celebrated as learning opportunities and curiosity is encouraged. I love integrating arts, movement, and nature into my teaching. When I'm not at school, I enjoy painting, yoga, and exploring local trails with my dog.
