Amy Marotz joins us to share her personal journey and insights on Microschools. Amy is the founder and Lead Teacher of a holistic, nature-based, student-led microschool called Awakening Spirit School based in MN. She walks us through her upbringing in Iowa and where her schooling went from struggling to thriving. She eventually found a calling for teaching her own children at home. This caught the attention of a few like minded parents and families that wanted to offer the same beautiful experience for their children, and her Microschool was born. Her lower level "one room schoolhouse" in her home, will be expanding this fall to a larger space complete with a farm. Amy believes students should be seen as individuals and goes out of her way to provide a calm environment for highly sensitive learners. She is an inspiration and will leave you wanting to start your own microschool...trust us! Enjoy!
