Having grown up in her mother’s Christian Montessori school, Lauren has been surrounded by schools all her life, both in and outside her own education. While pursuing her degree in Elementary Education at Wheaton College, Lauren completed her student teaching at Emerson Elementary School. After graduating, she taught at Hawthorne Elementary School, before moving back home to New Jersey where she found herself in a new world of Charlotte Mason and Classical Education, teaching Explorers One at The Wilberforce School. Returning to Illinois, she spent time working in a flower shop and acting as a Socratic Guide at Acton Academy Palatine. Eventually, she found her way to Clapham School!
