Brian Lee - Campus Director

Greetings! My name is Brian Lee and I am honored to serve as the director to our Ashland campus for Arrows Academy. I have been teaching for our High School program in Central Point and have grown a deep appreciation and love for our Arrows Christian Homeschool Community. I am married to my incredible wife Tina and have a 15-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter, both of whom attend Arrows.

One thing I love to say about homeschooling is that our experience has taught us not only what learning or school does not have to be, but what it can be, especially with Christ as the anchor. The learners I have worked with and gotten to know through Arrows are some of the most talented, passionate, kind, and conscientious young people I have ever witnessed. I am beyond excited and grateful that the Lord has opened the opportunity to extend this community to Ashland.

Outside of Arrows, my wife and I help lead our church youth group. My son and I coach mountain biking together for our local youth program. As a family, we enjoy the outdoors in all its forms. We are almost always, outside.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to be a part of this amazing community.

Jennifer Jaeger-Bookkeeping & Office Admin

Hello, my name is Jennifer Jaeger. I am excited to join the Arrows team and serve as the Bookkeeper. My husband and I have two children who attend Arrows and the school has been such a blessing to our family. I am excited to use my work experience to assist in such an important and wonderful mission to serve our homeschooling community. I was born and raised in the United Kingdom with dual nationality and felt led at 19 to pack my bags and move to the states to attend University, where I met my husband and built my life in Ashland.

amie Blore-Academy Executive Director

Hello! My name Amie Blore. I have had the privilege of being the Grants Pass Academy Director the last two years and enjoyed being a part of brining Arrows Academy to Grants Pass. I am excited to be given the opportunity to help oversee both the Central Point and Grants Pass campuses as the Arrows Academy Executive Director. We started attending Arrows Academy by commuting to the Central Point campus from Grants Pass with my oldest daughter before opening the Grants Pass campus location. I have a Business Administration degree and have always enjoyed administrative work. I love to assist in the classrooms, teach PE, art classes, and to help make the things run smoothly with our day-to-day operations. Arrows Academy has been a perfect fit for our family by providing a Christian classroom environment along with the flexibility of homeschooling. I love schooling together in a community and have been so blessed by the impact our Arrows teachers have in our student's lives and the friendships that have been developed there. It has been such a blessing to come alongside families and support each other in homeschooling our kids!

LISA ITZEN-EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATOR

Hello! My name Lisa Itzen. I am incredibly blessed to be taking on the role of Arrows Executive Administrator. This role will oversee all Arrows Programs. Some of you may not know that I have a long history with Arrows. For the past nine years, since the inception of Arrows, I’ve worked alongside Becky Abrams and have assumed various roles over the years in our Programs and on the Board. I have served as Board Treasurer, Board Secretary, Board President, and Board Vice President, as well as Co-op Director, to name a few. My two kids have grown up in the program, and I couldn’t be more passionate about our great organization. My husband, daughter (12), son (10), and I enjoy living in Southern Oregon. We feel so blessed to be surrounded with so much beauty and outdoor activities. We enjoy hiking, reading, gardening, pickleball, and hosting. I love homeschooling because of the freedom it brings and the love of learning it fosters. I am so proud of our Arrows families for taking the opportunity to homeschool their children, and I’m incredibly thankful for the wonderful community of support that Arrows provides. Looking forward, I am excited about the future of our organization. I am committed to our mission of uniting families, build community and encourage academic excellence among Christian homeschooling families.
