Having grown up in an academically austere household, PL-ACE’s director, Nathalia Orton, realised over time that impactful education often flourishes in the midst of empathetic connections between teachers and students. In other words, she became certain that academic success only emerges in particular learning environments.

She also discovered that the student’s level of comfort and ease of communication were critical ingredients to optimal learning. She and her team meticulously understand that progress comes with discovering each student's unique mode of learning.

Ultimately, a holistic approach was and remains the key and this paves the way for her company’s continued dedication to the field of progressive education.
