Money - Today we explore alternative education with Sarah Russell. From childhood, Sarah has known from a very young age that she wanted to be involved in alternative education. She enthusiastically shares her journey of multiple transitions in education and over the years realized how important community has become for her. She now teaches at American Family Education in Gilbert, AZ where they are a community of purpose and focus on parent-led education. You will love her energy and enthusiasm for what she is involved in, a community that's changing lives!
When she was 11, she started homeschooling. During her teens, she read the book, Little Men, and realized that she wanted to create a school someday. When she was fifteen, she learned about Thomas Jefferson Education and brought it into the Boise area. Throughout her education, she has studied education methods, reading works by John Dewey, John Gatto, Montessori, Rafe Esquith and others. Sarah graduated in English with Honors at BYU, and took breaks during her college career to attend George Wythe University, serve an LDS mission, study abroad in Jerusalem, and intern in Washington DC. After graduation, she taught English at a Basis charter school for a while, and realized that although she absolutely loved teaching, she was right about the system, and disliked it even more than she thought she did. After she left teaching, she started working online, living first in Utah, and then traveling around Europe and Morocco.
She is currently teaching Junior Explorers at American Family Education, an incredible community and education where she can teach truth using true principles of education. At the school, she uses history, language arts, and leadership education to inspire and help her students. In her spare time, when she isn’t traveling, she is usually reading, going to cultural events, and mountain biking or hiking. She loves the outdoors, truth and wonder.
