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.
