We are Michael and Desiree Greene. In the picture to the right is Reginald & Barbara McGee. We are family, parents, grandparents, educators, and entrepreneurs. This is such a thrilling journey we are embarking on as we launch a brand new
non-traditional micro school for our son and the community. The excitement of re-imagining what’s possible drives us and inspires us!
My husband attended public school and I grew up going to Christian schools my entire life. We are a FAMILY of educators and several of us have taught in a variety of settings (public, Christian, private, and daycares). I mean it’s safe to say, we’ve seen a whole lot over the past 18 years.
We currently live in a great school district. Our son would have the best resources and support available to him and he would do “just fine”.
However, the more we thought about it, the more we wondered, should we settle for “fine”? Are we okay with him missing out from learning in a Christian environment? What about learningTRUE history about his culture? Are we okay with the excessive homework and standardized testing that start in early elementary school? Will this approach adequately prepare our son for a successful, fulfilling life in the 21st century?
Then, we started to DREAM BIG!
Success shouldn’t be measured by worksheets or memorizing facts to pass a test. The goals for learners should be simple: find God’s calling on their life and change the world. We want this for our son and our community!
