Claire is a parent, home educator and teacher of more than 20 years, and the founder of The Meadow.  Reimagining education has been a lifelong passion of hers, pushing the creative boundaries for 20 years within the system and for the last decade from outside. She believes in a vision where young people are celebrated, respected and free to develop their authentic selves. Having created a self-directed education with her own daughters, she's dedicated to growing a community where autonomous learners can thrive and develop together. Claire is often outdoors, inspired by wild places and wilder swimming. She loves to read, write and take photographs and is committed to lifelong learning.
