Anna Martin

2021-Present, Executive Director

Anna Martin lives in the Dallas, TX area with her husband, Jeff, and their three daughters. She currently serves on the Board of Christian Education and serves in admissions at Faith Lutheran School-Plano, TX. She is originally from East Sussex, England. Prior to moving to Texas four years ago, she and her family lived in the Washington, DC area for 18 years, the last seven of which she homeschooled their three children and also served as the founder/executive director of The Orchard Classical Community, a large homeschool campus in Purcellville, VA. She has a master’s degree in modern history and a joint-honours bachelor’s degree in English literature and history from Leeds University, United Kingdom. She also has a master’s degree in government administration from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA. Prior to having children, she worked as an administrator in both federal government and nonprofit contexts including several years working for the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) defending constitutional rights at America’s colleges and universities. She is passionate about classical Lutheran education, which she believes embodies both the sound doctrine and the educational model that are essential to training up young students in the faith and fostering in them wisdom and virtue, a love of learning, sound reasoning, and the ability to confess and defend the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
