Nicolette Groeneveld (on ISC's Superhero Day)
Nicolette taught Junior High French Immersion for
10 years. During that time, she was appreciated for
her sunny personality, how genuinely she cared about
her students and for the fact that she nurtured not
only her students' academic growth but also their
personal growth. Nicolette delighted in her students
but became increasingly disillusioned with a system
that, to her, holds too many contradictions, counters
what is natural in children and, ultimately, does
damage to children. Looking for a different career
path, Nicolette found the Sudbury Valley School's
website and immediately knew she had found the approach
to education that rings true to her heart. She spent
her next year working with co-founder, Ric, to create
the Indigo Sudbury Campus.
Nicolette's other accomplishments
include being a published author of two novels and
an accompanying activity guide; compiler and co-author
of a French poetry collection for adolescents; a passionate
public speaker; and an inspiration and guide to hundreds
of teenagers.
Nicolette is currently working on
a screenplay through which she hopes to awaken the
masses to the limitations of the public education
system.
