Rachel Robison

Lead Teacher of Bears Class

Rachel was a founding member of Roots Community School and continues to be a cornerstone of the Roots Community. She serves as the lead teacher of the Eagles Class, and Director of Education.

Rachel’s educational background includes a BS in human nutrition, a post Baccalaureate degree in elementary education and National Board Certification in K-8 literacy.

She has 13 years of experience in the private elementary school that her children attended, Chelan Valley Independent School. She spent the last 8 of those years as a classroom instructor after seeing the transformational power that individualized education has in children’s lives.

A few words from Rachel:

“I love teaching in an atmosphere that values current research on brain development, promotes independent critical thinkers who will be ready for tomorrow’s challenges, and places an equal emphasis on children’s social and emotional well-being.  

“It is with these parameters in mind that the original steering committee began researching the start-up of a private school in the Chelan Valley. I was privileged to be a part of that passionate, hard-working team and enjoyed collaborating towards a beautiful vision.”

“Today, I am thrilled to see the result of the tenacious efforts of many- staff, parents, the local community- as Roots has developed into a top-notch educational opportunity. I love my job and am excited to work with the students and staff to make each day great!”
