Microschool Founder
Rachael emphasis is grounded in her firsthand experience guiding her own child’s education through individualized, research-based curriculum choices and child-led exploration, giving her a deep, practical understanding of what families value most in alternative learning environments. Her lived experience allows her to appreciate the importance of flexibility, small-group learning, meaningful community, and education that adapts to each child rather than forcing learners into rigid systems. This perspective directly informs her leadership and vision for Magnolia Concepts, shaping a microschool model that preserves the strengths of personalized, relationship-centered learning—autonomy, responsiveness, and deep engagement—while providing structure, peer connection, and high-quality project-based instruction that many families seek but struggle to find on their own.
