Hi, We are Stephanie and Natalie
After praying and knowing we wanted to help change the direction of education, we quit our teaching jobs and announced that we would be opening a small school. We spent countless hours researching, going to meetings, and learned how to run a small business and a successful school.
This is our story.
It all began with an idea. Education is changing. Childhood is suffering.
“If you don’t like something, change it…”
Dream it
We had an idea that if we had a chance to open our own school we would change so many things.
Build it
After being in business for two years, we were able to find a second location that was a rent to own. We then built it out to look like a school with four classrooms, and then grew to eight classrooms in one year.
The idea started very small. We opened our doors with only eight students. We were happy and so proud that we could invest in each student and not worry about the data. They were more than a number.
Become it
Our school became a hot topic amongst the community. People were starting to see the value of education and why more individualized education makes a huge difference in students.
overcome it
We dove in head first and had many obstacles. We now have many answers on how we overcame some of those hurdles.
We now have three campuses, an admin at each campus, 12 teachers, 120 students and a list a siblings waiting to get in the doors. We keep our campuses small. This is one of the reasons why we opened Imagine. In our five years we have had cooking, music, Spanish, a garden, chickens, sensory learning, Christmas programs, and so much more!
Our support system
We are both happily married with kids ranging from three - thirteen. If we can do it, so can you!
It’s time for you to make a difference and change education! If you ever needed a sign… this is it!
