    FOUNDER + Head OF SCHOOL

    Ona Anosike is an educator, writer, and advocate with well over a decade of experience designing learning spaces that nurture independence and creativity.

    Guided by her Pan-Africanist commitment to community, she founded Inkwell Montessori as the school she wished she'd had as a child. She started Inkwell after years of observing how standard equity frameworks can inadvertently lower expectations for the very children they aim to lift. Inkwell is her response: a movement and tech-integrated Montessori environment in Cambridge where students explore freely, think critically, and grow into self-directed learners, fully supported by a culture of meaningful challenge and deep cultural affirmation.

    Education: University of Pennsylvania (M.S.Ed), Lesley University (MFA), Northeastern University (B.A), Northeast Montessori Institute

    Certifications: Special Education, English Language Arts and Reading, English as a Second Language, Montessori (Primary)
