Microschool Founder

Solstice Hybrid Academy Sarah Harrington

Sarah Harrington is the founder of Solstice Hybrid Academy. SHA was created when she decided she wanted to homeschool her son, but she didn’t have the financial ability to leave her job. Then she had the idea to homeschool a group of students. She’s been teaching in public schools for 10 years. The first two years, she was a substitute teacher. The last 8 years she’s been focused on art education. She is extremely passionate about using art as a tool for teaching and making our world a better place. Her classroom operates out of a school bus so that each day after her students have completed their assignments they can drive to an enrichment destination.
