About

My name is Aria Thomases and I am a certified Waldorf teacher with a Masters Degree in Education and more than 20 years experience in classroom and outdoor education settings throughout the world.

 

I believe in learning journeys designed around each child’s unique needs by following their interests, strengths, and curiosities. Through this approach, the hunger for knowledge is stoked and a child's sense of wonder, awe, and authentic self is nurtured, creating a passion for life-long learning.

 

Living on Maui since 2016, I find it's the perfect place to raise my son and to facilitate meaningful educational experiences for others.
