Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I was absolutely delighted to be joined by Rob Himburg, Director of Upland Hills School in Michigan. We met on teams to discuss the history of this very special school, their unique approach to education and what they mean by the phrase 'a love-based education.' We chatted about how the outdoors is woven into everything they do, the benefits of mixed age groups in schools, what learner-led education looks like for them and heard some fantastic examples of this all in action. We also discussed the work Rob does for young people with ADHD and their families, running summer camps as well as hearing a little bit about his psychology background that informs a lot of the work he does. It was an inspiring and enjoyable discussion and we're very grateful to Rob for his time and the nourishing conversation!
