Marlene Sheehan Dandler is the Founder of Seashore Academy. Marlene graduated from Lakeside School in Seattle, WA, in 1994. She went on to study at Dartmouth College. Before graduating from there in 1998, she had the unique opportunity to study abroad at the Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, and the Beijing Normal University in China.
While at Dartmouth, Marlene worked as a German language instructor for Professor John Rassias, the creator of the Rassias Method. A unique, intensive language immersion technique used by the Peace Corps to master a foreign language in 10 days.
Marlene Dandler founded Seashore Academy with one mission:
To create an education where children are joyful, parents have real educational freedom, and learning inspires curiosity instead of conformity.
Today, she mentors aspiring microschool founders across the country, sharing the exact systems, lessons, and strategies that have helped Seashore Academy thrive.
Through coaching, live trainings, YouTube videos, and ongoing mentorship, Marlene is committed to helping you build a school that reflects your vision while avoiding the costly mistakes that many new founders make.
Every thriving school begins with a single conversation.
