While her kids were still very young, she started dreaming of a creative, child-focused school, that would value practical, coherent, real-life learning.

„INSPIRA is the school I have always wanted for my children”, we often hear her say.

Even though her kids have grown, she has never given up on her dream of a high-quality school for other children’s parents who were just like her.

For parents who:
– Dream of a friendly learning environment for their son or daughter
– Want a place where their child can grow according to their natural gifts
– Long for a balanced relationship with their kids instead of the tension generated by an ever-demanding and rigid educational system.

Claudia’s dream has come true. Now, she inspires the team to find new and better ways to cherish, challenge and support the young INSPIRAtors.

She enjoys watching the students and being around them on any given occasion. Although she has chosen an operations career over her teaching, her heart keeps beating for kids.

For us, Adina is a fountain of inner strength. Life has not been easy on her, but she dares it, not letting it rob her of the joy of living and spreading kindness around her.

Don’t let appearances mislead you, though. Emi has had years of teaching experience and is keen on doing things well. But he also knows that children’s desire to learn is influenced by how well a teacher understands and empowers them. And this is precisely what he does while teaching.

Also, we admire Emi for his strong determination not to judge others and his heart for social problems.

She might seem shy among adults, but she is like fish in the water when surrounded by kids.

We admire her mix of creativity and love for the young generation. Besides preparing children academically, Kacy also cares for their hearts and for how they turn out to be as people. Isn’t this the true spirit of education, after all?

Among so many dreamers and „social butterflies”, we are glad there is someone to keep us down to earth and express in a visual way whatever crosses our minds.

And there is one more thing about Sera: he is very good at balancing a cheerful work atmosphere with his integrity and sense of responsibility.
