Hi! I’m Dr. Annette Penley.

From a young age I knew what my life calling was. Education. I have dedicated much of the past 20 years to this field. I earned my undergraduate degree from Crandall University in New Brunswick, Canada, a Master of Education from Liberty University, and a Doctorate of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Liberty University, where the focus of my research was on K-12 curriculum alignment.

I've been deeply involved in the field of education, teaching various age groups and subjects for a number of years, and more recently, working as an education consultant. Through my experiences in numerous schools and my interactions with hundreds of students, one thing has remained consistent: we could do better for our children. I want something better for my children. I am guessing that you want something better for your children.

I dreamed of a school that prioritized critical thinking and rigorous academics while embracing research-backed methods—steering away from rote memorization and instead integrating subject content into practical hands-on real-world projects. I wanted a school where my children did not have to sit at desks all day and complete worksheets only to forget the information the moment they took a test. I wanted an education environment for my children that inspired them to learn. I know, and you know, that our children will accomplish far more if we can change the format of their learning environment. So that's exactly what this school is for. This school is for your kids and my kids. It's for building up those who will change the world.
