Mrs. Stephanie Lewis
Headmistress; Teacher of Habits/Character, Visual Art, Shakespeare & Performing, Painting & Ceramics, Literacy, Nature Study & Journaling, and Animal Science & Agriculture
I have worked hard to get my act together in this homeschooling venture and have felt a calling to share my story and resources with others. My hope is that Loft & Field can be a place where homeschoolers can come together to support, study, live, and learn. It’s a cottage school. It’s a living books library. It’s a farm. It’s a study group for Charlotte Mason aficionados. It’s a place to organize more things like nature walks, art workshops, interesting classes, or other things that would benefit us or our kids. —read more from blog post—

Head Teacher; Teacher of Handicrafts, Health & Fitness, Literacy, Food Science, and Math in Life & Nature
It has always resounded deep within me, that life is a very serious thing. So from the point in my life when I first was considering having children, I have always endeavored to be intentional. To be consistently intentional in life is a struggle because life is also filled with unpredictable chaos. A quote from Charlotte Mason highlights that balance of chaos versus control. “No other part of the world’s work is of such supreme difficulty, delicacy and importance, as that of parents in the right bringing up of their children.”

Natalie Suter
Nature Adventures Teacher
As a homeschooling mom and herbalist, life in nature with my kids has been part of the air we breathe as a family. From the time they were born, I would snuggle them close and head deep into the forest, wade through meadows, or splash through creeks in route to incredible plants and wild foods to heal and feed us. My favorite moment in nature with kids, is the moment they realize that every plant has a name, purpose, and reason it grows where it grows. I believe that there is so much God wants to communicate to us about Himself and His love through His creation.

Teacher of Debate, Biography Geography, and Mock Trial
I have been homeschooling for several years. My oldest graduated four years ago. This journey of homeschooling and educating children has brought many life lessons, seasons of growth, and wonderful blessings. My heart is for children and to walk alongside them in their education journey. I enjoy working on cars with my husband, camping with my kiddos, cuddling my fur babies, and have a love for learning. I look forward to working with you and your student.

This will be my first year as a teacher. One of my previous jobs was a teacher’s assistant and I have filled in as a substitute on occasion. I have been doing historical reenactments for 6 years now, and I am excited to bring history to life in class!
Kelly Linn
Physics & Physics Lab Teacher
I’ve been homeschooling my boys for 16 years, and science is by far my favorite subject to teach. I love hands-on learning and believe the best classroom is often outside. Some of my favorite adventures include hiking in the Andes, planting pineapples in the Amazon, and scuba diving in the Caribbean. I’m passionate about helping kids explore God’s creation with curiosity and wonder. Whether we’re doing a simple experiment or observing the natural world, I aim to spark a love of learning that reaches beyond the textbook.

Hi, I’m Levi, and I’m 15 years old. I’m excited to help out as a teaching assistant this year. I enjoy working with younger students and being part of the homeschool community.

I also enjoy playing soccer and softball, going hiking, and spending time with friends. I’m happy to help with anything from setting up activities to answering questions, and I’m looking forward to learning and having fun alongside everyone this year.

I’ve been coming here for as long as the school’s been open because I’m Stephanie’s middle child. I love entomology and playing games.
