FEE Entrepreneur-In-Residence Program

Entrepreneurs-In-Residence at the Education Entrepreneurship Lab play a pivotal role in promoting education entrepreneurship and innovation. These thought leaders are practitioners who are currently running their own innovative schools or related learning models.

They publish regular articles here at the Lab, engage with founders and families, and share their voices in the movement toward more decentralized, individualized, market-driven education options.

Jennie Jones

Jennie Jones is an Entrepreneur-In-Residence at FEE. She is 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.
