    124: Starting a School to Change Education, The Story of UP Academy
    2024/12/24

    In this episode of Rebel Educator, I take you behind the scenes of founding Up Academy—an educational journey sparked by my daughter Eliza’s diagnosis of cerebral palsy.


    Faced with a system that didn’t believe in her potential, I set out to create a school that would not only support her but all students in need of a personalized, community-driven education.


    From navigating real estate challenges to overcoming unexpected setbacks, this episode is a raw and honest look at how Up Academy came to life, and the relentless pursuit of a better educational future.


    Tune in for an inspiring story of overcoming obstacles and redefining what’s possible in education.
