What would you do to protect your children or grandchildren? What would you do to protect someone else’s children and grandchildren? These are questions Leila Centner, co-founder of the Centner Academy asks daily. Centner Academy is a progressive independent school that combines a deep commitment to emotional intelligence, creative problem solving and mindfulness with a challenging curriculum. Not long-ago Leila came under fire when she refused to mask her students and push the germ theory narrative. Leila will share why she made her decision and how taking a stand has helped the academy and students grow in many ways.
