Our Story

Wonderview School was founded in 2022 by Libby Farmen out of a deep conviction that education should cultivate not only knowledge, but wisdom, wonder, and a love for what is good, true, and beautiful. After years of working with students and families, and learning about classical education, Libby saw a growing need in Lincoln, NE for an educational model that combined strong academics with healthy family rhythms, meaningful parent partnership, and Christ-centered formation. She believed children flourish when they are truly seen, known, and loved — and when learning takes place within warm, orderly classrooms rooted in truth and wonder. With these convictions in mind, Wonderview School was launched, in partnership with a group of committed parents and teachers, as a classical Christian hybrid school designed to support both students and families. By pairing teacher-led instruction on campus with meaningful learning at home, Wonderview seeks to cultivate joyful, thoughtful learners while preserving the beauty of family life and childhood. Libby is passionate about creating a school culture where students are academically challenged, spiritually grounded, and inspired to pursue wisdom with curiosity and humility. Under her leadership, Wonderview continues to grow as a community committed to beauty, goodness, truth, and a deeply relational approach to education. Today, Wonderview serves students from Junior Kindergarten through middle school, and will launch Wonderview High in the fall of 2027 with 9th and 10th grades.  Libby holds a Bachelor’s degree in Education and a Master’s degree in Leadership with an emphasis in Educational Psychology from the University of Nebraska. She is finishing up her Doctorate in Education and is actively working on her dissertation focused on teacher effectiveness and instructional growth, with a planned graduation in spring 2027. Libby has spent the past seven years leading schools and educational programs. She has also completed graduate coursework in management and leadership through Harvard University and Washington State University. She and her husband Scott, enjoy spending time with their adult children Olivia, Luke and Austin, Husker Volleyball, and hanging out with their two dogs, Dasher and Strawberry.
