Our Leadership
Director:
Diana Osborn is the founder and director of Leaves of Learning. Diana loves working with children of all ages and has a passion and commitment to individualized education. She feels that while an education certainly provides the skills and opportunities for a child's future, it’s also an important part of the journey, and as such, should be enjoyed.Diana believes that education should meet children where they are and take them where they want to go—through caring guidance, enthusiasm and support. Her favorite moments at LOL are when students discover their talents and passions for learning.
Over the years, Diana has taught after-school and summer hands-on science classes in area schools through a program sponsored by the National Science Foundation. She also taught science at LOL for five years.
Before becoming involved in education, Diana was a chemist for DuBois Chemical and a pharmaceutical representative for Whitehall Robbins. She holds a BS in Chemistry. Diana homeschooled her three children, who all attended LOL, and are now in or graduated from college.
