Founder

Hi, my name is Marcy. I had an idea and a calling...

Having a passion for alternative education and for fostering a love of learning, I envisioned a micro-school for homeschooling kids where they could flourish in their creative minds and self-awareness. It would be an environment to strengthen core academic subjects and immerse in enriching classes to explore new things and learn valuable life skills. But foremost, it would be a safe place of learning where they looked forward to going and felt a strong sense of self and community. Can we show kids how to love learning?

 

I have gathered like-minded, credentialed teachers and passionate educators to lead our kids through exciting subjects in a whole-child approach. We meet them at their level and teach in various ways to keep learning engaging and fun to spark life-long curiosity and passions.  

The Bending Willow Academy is my idea that has come to fruition. I hope our academy serves you well and enriches your homeschool experience!

Kids learn (and thrive) in many ways and have different needs; knowing this, I've created several programs for homeschoolers:

My school campus in Thousand Oaks, The Bending Willow Academy

A self-directed enrichment program in Thousand Oaks, Cherry Tree

My outdoor farm academy in Simi Valley, The Bending Willow Outdoor Academy
