matt dehart - BIOGRAPHY

"Matt DeHart is a young, revolutionary educator, who is on a mission to help create educational change through intentional and community-centered methods. After being named the Greenville County Schools Emerging Teacher of the Year after his second year, Matt was also named the “Face of Teacher Education” for his alma mater, as well as the Top 10 Under 10 Year alumni award winner. Before beginning his third year in education, Matt started a non-profit, the Teach from DeHart Foundation, to take his students on life-changing trips across the US. His organization is still impacting students across multiple states. 

Seeing a need for revolutionary education in a Pittsburgh, PA suburb, Matt has taken the charge to use his non-profit to create a non-profit middle school in Arnold, PA, called the Teach from DeHart Academy. TFDA will educate both the students (5th-8th grade) as well as their parents, through an adult learning program. This whole family approach is currently the only model in the US to educate both students and parents. The school is set to open its doors in the fall of 2025 and will revitalize the community through education. 

Matt DeHart is on a crash course with destiny, being one of the youngest educational professionals to start a school and seeking to help create excitement around education and 21st-century methods that engage every student and teacher alike.

The Teach from DeHart Academy will be a non-profit middle school located in the heart of Arnold, PA. The school itself is set to host 5th-8th grade students, teaching values and skills that will transition them into a lifestyle of success in a dynamic learning environment that promotes leadership and fosters academic and personal success."
