That prayer was answered in 2020 when Dean joined the organization to take it and its commitment to an Ambleside Education model to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dean has a proven track record of success building and improving organizational operations. He is also a servant leader who believes deeply that the essence of our spiritual life is a close relationship with a personal God who is intimately interested in all aspects of our lives, especially our suffering.

This book sparked an \u201ca-ha!\u201d moment for the Nelsons because they realized that it articulated the educational philosophy they had been searching for.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It soon became clear to the Nelsons that the only way for them to give to their children this kind of education was to do it themselves. However, since both felt that they were called to the educational mission of Christian schools, home-schooling their own children was, for them, only a temporary option. They decided, after prayer and consultation with friends, that what they needed to do was start a Charlotte Mason school. Thus, RiverTree School was born.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A few months later, Mr. Nelson was delighted to discover that there was an organization already in existence dedicated to developing schools committed to Charlotte Mason\u2019s method, Ambleside Schools International. RiverTree joined Ambleside in the spring of 2008. Rodney now provides direction to Ambleside Schools International as the Chair of its Board.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Nelsons reside in Maple Grove, MN, with their six children.
