Meet Lori Celli
"My path to teaching wasn't a straight line, and I think that's what makes me the teacher I am today. I started in social work, then became a Day Treatment Supervisor teaching life and vocational skills to adults with disabilities. When my husband and I started planning for kids, I went back to school for my Master's in ESE. Since then, I've taught middle school for six years, spent a year in an elementary EBD classroom, and most recently served as the Inspired Farming Coordinator at Autism Inspired Academy. I love project-based learning that lets students problem-solve and use their creativity — it helps them grow academically and socially. My favorite subject is science, and in my free time, I'm hanging out with my amazing family, gardening, fostering kittens, camping, and I love to tap dance! Fun fact: my son has autism, and it's a big part of why I'm so passionate about this community."

About Our Program
Students engage in hands-on academic activities and socialize with their peers. This program includes a personalized learning plan created by Ms. Lori that the student will follow in her class.
Pricing for these groups varies depending on the length of the class your student joins. The class will be determined after a meet and greet with Ms. Lori. A personalized learning plan can also be created without joining a class.
Ms. Lori is the leader of our older learning pod group. She can also be found teaching the electives: Junkyard Jams, Adulting 101, Ocean Exploration, and Content Creation Station. Learn more about these classes here.
