We love to be with our children. We enjoy the freedom that teaching our children at home offers both in subject matter and schedule. The individual attention, the calm and quiet environment, and the pride of our accomplishments are the true gifts of home education.

New Executive Director Looks Forward To A "Dynamic" Year

Michelle Simpson-Siegel
We are excited to announce that Oak Meadow has appointed Michelle Simpson-Siegel to the position of Executive Director. Michelle, who served as High School Program Director for the last two years, is looking forward to witnessing Oak Meadow's continued progress as a leader in homeschooling and distance learning. She notes, "This  promises to be a dynamic year in which we guide our organization into its next phase. Oak Meadow is an empowering option for students and their families; our curriculum and our school provide families with a model that promotes a lifestyle of learning."

Michelle's professional and educational background is a perfect fit with Oak Meadow's focus on environmental awareness and stewardship, and on helping students develop strong reading and writing skills.  She received her undergraduate degree in Education and English from the University of Rhode Island. She pursued her graduate degree in Environmental Education from Antioch University New England. Before coming to Oak Meadow, Michelle taught English at Northfield Mount Hermon, was a Learning Specialist in the Massachusetts public schools, and worked as a Program Director for The Massachusetts Audubon Society.

Oak Meadow's Co-founder and President, Lawrence Williams, who served as Interim Executive Director, recommended Simpson-Siegel to the position, saying, "She's been an outstanding High School Program Director and has developed a solid understanding of all aspects of our organization. Under Michelle's leadership, I'm confident Oak Meadow will enter an exciting new stage of growth and development."
