Education as Flexible As Your Star

When our Founder, Marilyn Mosley Gordanier, retired her ballet slippers during the prime of her dance career to focus on her education, a new dream was born. One in which she vowed to one day create an educational option allowing students to receive high-quality education while providing the opportunity to pursue outside passions, goals, and careers.

In 1991, her dream became a reality. Laurel Springs School shifted the paradigm of education from educating en masse, to prioritizing for the needs of individual students. Students no longer needed to limit their learning environment to 8 am to 3 pm inside four walls. Our self-paced model allows students to learn—and thrive—from anywhere in the world.

One thing that I really love about being at Laurel Springs is being able to set my own pace and make my own schedule. When I'm traveling, I don't really do that much online work for Laurel Springs because I just need to be in the zone, especially if I'm at a competition or something. It’s very rigorous and I need to make an effort to become better and put all my knowledge into my craft.”
