Meet the Team

Scott Long

Co-Founder | Educator

Scott is an elementary educator who has spent his career working in classrooms and thinking deeply about how children learn best. He earned his undergraduate degree in elementary education and later completed a master’s degree in education to further study teaching, learning, and school leadership.

Scott has taught in both public and private school settings, experiences that helped shape his belief that strong academics, thoughtful structure, and financial responsibility all matter in a healthy school. He is especially passionate about math instruction, hands-on science, and creating learning experiences that feel meaningful rather than rushed or trend-driven.

At the heart of his work is a simple goal: to help build a school where students are known well, teachers are trusted, and learning is taken seriously.
