This is Our Story.
During the pandemic, my family and I moved to a rental in the countryside, where the clear, wide-open skies became a source of wonder.
Since I worked all day teaching virtually on screens -- I decided my nights would be offscreen!
I decided to turn the night sky into a classroom for my then 5-year-old. Each evening, we would step outside with a blanket and some snacks, gazing up at the stars. I taught him the names of constellations, like Orion and the Big Dipper, by turning them into fun stories. We used apps and charts, and sometimes we’d just lie on the grass, letting our imaginations soar. It became a special bonding time—he learned the magic of the sky, and I rediscovered it through his eyes. Those nights sparked my passion for sharing astronomy with others, leading me to create Sky School 19.
Our Approach
We teach what is called "Observational Astronomy" which means, learning everything that you can see in the night sky with just your eyes -- no equipment needed.
