Students need to be responsible for and construct their own learning.  The teacher/parent is only a companion in the learning, providing guidance and preparing the learning environment.

Certified teacher, consultant to home school families and director of a learning center and day school, Patti has studied Charlotte Mason for many years.  With over 30 years of experience teaching students from preschool to high school, in both private and home school settings, she has raised and home schooled two young men, earned a reading endorsement, and acquired 100's of graduate hours  in teaching math and science.  Following Mason's philosophies, she has found the inspiration and confidence to change the traditional classroom paradigm.

Patti was very involved with National History Day, a highly regarded historical research program and competition for 6th to 12 grades.  She has coached students to the national contest 4 times and many students to the state contest each year.

Her free time is spent with her grandson, her dogs, camping, cooking and reading.

"I strive to provide an academically rich and rigorous Christian classroom for students to experience success; to serve as a model for parents; and to enable families to build an enriched learning environment."   -Patti
