George Washington
Washington (sometimes known as motorcycle man) is one of the two handsome young men in this institution. Ranked in the Love of Learning phase, he enjoys participating with the daily adventure boxes as well as playing with classmates.

Hypatia
Hypatia is transitioning from 8 years of core phase play into structured time Love of Learning. She has demonstrated her mastery of her household chores and being obedient to her mother's instructions. And her stewardship of animals are the best attended to of the entire student body. Since she has always excelled in play (and silliness), she is well prepared to participate in the games and play found in the adventure boxes. This year her iFAMILY classes include Story Station, Phonics, Princess Academy, and Children's Choir.
Joan of Arc
Jeanne de'arc is coming into the awareness of her schooling phase as play, mess-making, and being adored by one and all. She has advanced from being the youngest and newest student to a seasoned core phase student - since the arrival of her new baby brother - but with her nurturing character and frequent snuggles, it's an advancement she's thrilled to take on. Even potty training may become important sooner than expected. Her scholarly talents are many and include drawing (writing) on every surface she can, frequent reading and being read to, and pulling all the books out of the bookshelves. Her roommate, Shakespeare, has her hands full with this young charge.
Enoch
Our most recently enrolled student joined our academy this year and is already adjusting well to school life. His lessons include 'How to operate a body', and 'Developing trust in my parents abiltiy to love & take care of me' among a multitude of others. A great deal of time will be spent in training this young student these important lessons so that he can be a more self-guided student in years to come.
