Jennie Jones

Jennie Jones

Jennie Jones is a former professional ballerina, turned homeschooling mom of four, turned education entrepreneur. After taking a break from dance education, she started homeschooling her own children. Over the last seven years of homeschooling, Jennie started leaning more and more into unschooling and interest-led, child-driven learning. An educator at heart, she always dreamed of opening a microschool. In September 2024, that dream became a reality when she launched The Treehouse Agile Learning Community in St. George, Utah. A home-based microschool that uses agile learning tools to foster intentional community, natural learning, and independence, The Treehouse currently serves homeschooled students ages 5-12.
