Our Team
Kari Marbury
Founder & Visionary
Kari is The Aletheia School’s visionary, and she has desired to create a space for Wolfeboro’s homeschoolers to be discipled and grow in their learning for the past 10 years. She is deeply passionate about seeing high school students and young adults gain an understanding of what a biblical worldview is and how it influences every part of their lives. She believes that fostering a community where students can wrestle with the truth and challenge one another over fundamental questions will help shape and prepare them to engage with the world. Kari is a homeschool mom herself, and is excited to see how The Aletheia School will continue to grow and impact students in our Wolfeboro community.
