About the author
Andrea Fife
Andrea Fife is Chief Academic Officer at OpenEd, where she helps families design personalized learning environments that celebrate each child's unique strengths and learning style.
With a Master's degree in Elementary Education and years of classroom teaching experience, Andrea understands both traditional education and its limitations. Her expertise spans curriculum design, learning differences, and neurodivergence support—informed by her own journey discovering ADHD at 36 and supporting her two sons through their own learning paths.
Andrea continues her professional development through partnerships with organizations like My Pal's Playground and believes deeply in creating educational approaches that adapt to students, not the other way around. When she's not working with families, you'll find her volunteering in her community or at the piano, where she studied under Diana Coleman.
Her philosophy is simple: the curriculum is the tool, not the student.
