Our Team

We have an incredible team of professionals to guide your students!

Elise

Director

Elise is a certified educator with years of experience across public, private, and homeschool settings. She spent eight years homeschooling her own 4 children, where she developed a love for creative, hands-on learning that builds both skills and confidence. Her passion for meaningful education eventually led to the creation of Film School 4 Teens, where she now serves as director. Because FS4T is still a small, family-owned business, Elise is deeply involved in every part of the experience — including being the one who answers the phone! She loves connecting directly with families and helping them find the tools and encouragement they need to thrive in their educational journey.
