We began as a parent association with four families in response to the COVID-19 pandemic—driven by a shared desire to keep our children from falling behind socially, emotionally, and academically. What started as a small learning pod with four students and two passionate teachers quickly grew into Master Tree Academy: a warm, in-person learning space focused on connection, growth, and meaningful education.

The purpose of our mission transcends intellectual pursuits and academic achievement through teaching independent self-mastery and community involvement. We offer an organically evolving learning environment and teachers that assist the whole child in finding their own learning style, creative problem solving and purpose through providing a heart-based, integrative and inspiring learning experience to our students and their families to create passionate learners and self-motivated thrivers. 

Our community has since grown to include families with an international mindset and a wide range of professional backgrounds—from entrepreneurs and creatives to doctors, lawyers, and everything in between. We recognize that parent education and active family involvement are essential to a child’s development. That’s why we’ve built more than a school—we’ve created a safe, family-oriented network built on trust and strong relationships between families, students, teachers, and staff.

We spark a lifelong love of learning through the magic and beauty of the world. With a whole-child approach, we blend classical academics with hands-on, real-life experiences that build trust, confidence, and life skills. Our full-time, part-time, and homeschool enrichment programs support families with a private school–like experience rooted in creativity, nature, and community.

Master Tree Academy is led by a passionate team of educators and professionals. Our founder and CEO, Jona Bryndis, born in Iceland and raised in Germany brings strong European and Nordic influences to the academy’s vision.  Her unique blend of science, compassion, and conscious education guides the heart of Master Tree Academy.​
