Anna Smith, Founder & Owner

Anna is a second-generation homeschooler. Her early education included Waldorf, public school, and homeschooling.  After deciding to homeschool her own children, she tried out different homeschooling avenues, such as filing an R4, CAVA, and Sky Mountain charter school.

Anna’s family is a part of several learning co-ops in the Los Angeles area. She was a founder and marketing director of The Red Chair School of Performing Arts in Burbank, CA.  She is currently on the board of directors for The Red Chair Children’s Production Company, where she has produced numerous productions, including The Nutcracker and Annie at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, CA.

In her life before children, Anna worked as an assistant director and stage manager at the Academy Playhouse as the resident stage manager at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater, both on Cape Cod, MA.  Anna is the mother of three and is enjoying the homeschooling adventure with her family.

Our administration team is available to meet with new and continuing families to discuss your questions and concerns. To make an appointment, click here.
