Hello! 👋 We are the Martzahls and we started an independent school for families like yours!

We felt there was more to school than the outdated traditional school model that emphasizes fitting into the box rather than charting your own path.

If you're like us and believe there's more to education than test-taking and lectures let us send you a FREE info kit. Let's reinvent education for our kids right here in Fort Calhoun, Nebraska!
