Emma Wilson on Progressive Schooling

What would make a family pack up their lives and move 1,800km for a school?That’s exactly what we did after stumbling across Living School while road-tripping around Australia. So this week I’m chatting with someone at the heart of what makes that place so special—Emma Wilson, my daughter’s teacher and the award-winning Head of Middle School. Emma’s not just a phenomenal educator—she’s a national teaching award winner, a Children’s Champion, and has even caught the attention of UN delegates. But what sets her apart isn’t just the accolades—it’s the way she sees kids. And learning. And life. Living School isn’t big on self-promotion, so I wanted to lift the lid and share a little of what’s happening behind the scenes—and why bringing the kids to Living School has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. This one’s full of insight, heart, and hope. Enjoy the chat with the quietly brilliant Emma Wilson. Big hug Rich Get full access to The Dad Mindset at www.thedadmindset.com/subscribe
