Learning to lead
Leadership Retreat
A week along the Chattooga River where students grow through responsibility, challenge, and service.
Teaching beyond the classroom
Take them places they have not been.
Show them things they have not seen.
A lifetime of helping young people explore, question, create, serve, and learn from the living world.
“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” — Margaret Mead
Why I teach
Educating the mind—and the heart.
I seek to inspire thoughtful student-citizens who are passionate about exploration and problem solving.
Students become curious about the natural world, critical thinkers, innovative, independent, and collaborative. Science is not merely something to read about. It is water tested in a local lake, history uncovered beside an archaeologist, a canoe on the Peace River, and a trail followed across Cumberland Island.
The landscape has lessons of its own. Through careful observation and real fieldwork, students learn to listen, see, ask better questions, and create work worth sharing with the world.
