HistoryWhen our prior school closed unexpectedly on July 14th, we were all in a state of shock, wondering where to go next. Parents were looking for a place that offered the care for their children based on respect, equality, and individual time with an amazing educator that they had at their previous school, and could not find one. Several parents approached Ian and I to see if we would be interested in continuing to work with their kids for the next school year, and it quickly became clear there was enough interest to continue the classroom work we had going, to create something more than tutoring. Our parent community has shared their talents and skills by providing and connecting us with legal and accounting services, design experience, taking on an art class, physical labor to move into and set up the school, and help with day-to- day operations of the school. Thank you to all who are taking this journey with us.SpecialtiesThe mission of Venn Academy is to partner with families to provide a relationship-based education, create personalized instruction, and to support empowered learning.
