Your Facilitators

Dr. Erin Flynn

Microschool Founder & Director

Dr. Erin Flynn founded the Hedge School Cooperative in Austin, Texas in January of 2021. Having served as teacher, department head, and principal for 10 years at a Texas public charter school and previously taught at university in Ireland for 6 years, Doc Flynn decided to forge a new path in education for herself and her students.  

Doc Flynn was born in Cornwall, England to an USN father and an Irish mother. From there she moved around quite a bit as is the path of a military kid.  She has lived in 4 different countries and 4 different US states, and her travels have given her the gift to see life from different perspectives. 

Doc Flynn’s Hedge School Coop strives to embrace those differing perspectives for each of their students.  The Hedge School Coop serves 8th through 12th graders.  Students need to be the driving force behind their education and adults need to serve as guides, mentors, cheerleaders, and models.
