After homeschooling her 5 children for almost 20 years, Dawn Varnadoe has loved being a part of this wonderful community of excellent educators and wonderful families. She and her husband, Howard, first learned about Ivybrook in 2019 and instantly fell in love with both their educational philosophy and heart for children.
