At CREATURE CURRICULUM, we bring a unique blend of professional expertise and personal passion to education. Our team is led by Kristen and Jesse, a dynamic duo whose diverse backgrounds and experiences inform every aspect of our curriculum.
Kristen, a former classroom teacher and dedicated homeschooling mom, understands the transformative power of interest-led learning. Her years in the classroom, combined with her hands-on experience teaching her own children, have shaped her approach to education. Kristen’s focus is on fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills through inquiry-based lessons that captivate and engage. She is committed to creating a curriculum that not only covers essential subjects but also inspires curiosity and a love for learning.
Jesse, with a robust background in entrepreneurship and global marketing, brings a fresh perspective to our educational approach. Having founded and grown a successful marketing agency, which was later acquired, Jesse has extensive experience in storytelling and creative problem-solving. His insights into connecting various domains, such as ecosystems and economies, are integrated into our curriculum to provide students with a holistic view of the world. Jesse’s vision ensures that CREATURE CURRICULUM goes beyond traditional education, making complex concepts accessible and exciting for students.
Our family’s global adventures have significantly influenced the development of CREATURE CURRICULUM. From the African Savanna to the Arctic Circle, and from the caves of Turkey to the lush landscapes of Hawaii, our travels have provided rich, real-world contexts for our lessons. Our six children, who are the primary testers of our curriculum, bring their diverse interests and questions to the table, continually inspiring new content and ideas. Their experiences and feedback are integral to crafting lessons that are both educational and engaging.
CREATURE CURRICULUM is designed to break away from conventional education methods. We believe that learning should be an immersive experience, where children are encouraged to explore, question, and connect with the natural world. Our curriculum emphasizes deep engagement and meaningful exploration, covering a wide array of subjects and skills. We aim to prepare students to be thoughtful, informed, and compassionate individuals ready to tackle the complexities of the future.
Join us on this journey of discovery with CREATURE CURRICULUM, where education is more than just a series of lessons is an adventure in learning and exploration.
