Meet the Project Learn Team

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” — William B. Yeats

Our Philosophy & Purpose

At Project Learn we’re more than educators—we’re mentors, guides, and lifelong learners united by one purpose: to empower children through project-based learning that builds confidence, creativity, and character.

Every member of our team blends professional expertise with real-world experience and a passion for hands-on education. Whether leading Littles through their first science experiment or coaching teens through a project pitch, our staff is committed to creating safe, inspiring, and unforgettable learning journeys.

We believe strong mentors cultivate strong learners. Get to know the dedicated people who make Project Learn a thriving community—and discover why their enthusiasm ignites a love of learning in every student they serve.
