Our Teacher Leader.

Wildflower schools are intentionally-small, community-embedded schools with the faculty both teaching and administering the school. Wildflower teachers-leaders are partners and social entrepreneurs. By preserving a small scale, teacher-leaders are able to make day-to-day decisions that respond to the needs of the children and school-wide decisions that express their own vision in the context of the needs of children, families and themselves.
