10 Myths Discovered by Mistwood School
by Marsha Aden-Wansbury and Julie Dorman
In 1980, two young mothers joined forces to create a positive hands-on learning environment for their three daughters and their friends and Mistwood Center for Education was born.
At Mistwood, each child was valued for their individual development and interests—always with a focus on love, kindness, respect, and trust in children's natural love for learning.
Over more than forty years, many lasting friendships were forged and many valuable lessons were learned. Here, then, is the story of their remarkable educational experiment.
Today we continue Marsha and Julie's dream of educating students in a place that is focus on nurturing children love of learning and fostering the development of good people.
