Why we started Vibrant life...

Welcome!

We are so glad you are here and investigating!

​

In 2021 we were homeschooling our children and were feeling empowered by the choices and culture homeschool provided us. While attending our weekly co-op, we witnessed 15 learners aged 7-13 discover true principles with no teacher in their midst. Seeing the unity, fun and empowerment that came from personal discovery was profound. The light and enthusiasm for true learning was evident in their eyes and it was so invigorating to see it with their peers. We wanted more of that. We wanted an educational culture that could fuel that light, and connect with others. We felt something even better was out there, and didn’t know initially what it was until we found Acton.

​

Acton is a world-wide network with an educational philosophy where the students are “heroes” on a journey to discover their gifts and purpose. Each person has a purpose that will change the world. The education is aimed to help discover it. It is learner driven. This approach facilitates the learners becoming. Learners are not simply told what to think, memorize, or how to pass a test. They become critical thinkers, problem solvers, and foster a love for life-long learning. This is what our family needed. We were done with systems that didn't really serve us and our greater purpose. There wasn’t an Acton in our close community, so we decided to create what we wanted. We knew it needed to have a holistic niche as connection to our heart is a vital bridge to the deeper levels of ourselves and our purpose. This adventure has already changed us. We hope it will be a gift to you and our community.  If our mission resonates with you, we encourage you to take the next step and start applying today. We can hardly wait to meet the fellow travelers on this path!

Jenna and Wes Jones  Vibrant Life Co-Founders

Jenna earned a degree in teaching secondary education and quickly realized teaching in public schools was not a great fit for her. It was eye opening and heart breaking.  She played collegiate basketball and loved to travel to Kenya and Uganda and other countries when volunteering for a non profit called Reach the Children. After marrying Wes, she strived to create an intentional home for her 7 children, 6 of whom are living.  She eventually stepped into the revolutionary world of homeschool. Due to some of her own physical health challenges that had been with her since childhood, Jenna has learned and became certified in a number of integrative health modalities including emotional integration techniques, breath and movement therapies.  Jenna is excited to connect with an intentional community, and create a transformative place for her children and families in the community to better connect to each other and their purpose.

As a new guide, I am deeply committed to cultivating an inclusive environment where the pillars of team building, emotional connection, artistic expression, and play intertwine to empower each student on their personal hero’s journey. Through fostering creativity, curiosity, and championing self-expression, my goal is to enable child to unearth their innate strengths and distinctive talents. Together, we will forge a nurturing community where every child is esteemed, motivated to conquer obstacles, embrace the joy of learning, and unfold their limitless potential.
