Ethan Peters is the founder and director of The HART Center, a nature based hybrid microschool and 501c3 nonprofit in Red Rock, Texas, serving children ages 3 to 18. The program is built on relational mentorship, nature immersion, hands on trade skills, and project based learning, and runs on a village model that treats real relationships and time on the land as the foundation of how children learn.

Ethan brings more than twenty years in education. He has served as a school principal and worked as a quantitative ecological researcher, and that combination shapes The HART Center's blend of place based rigor and genuine care for the whole child. His approach draws on intrinsic motivation science and indigenous learning models, with progress measured through portfolios and real growth rather than standardized testing.

Beyond the school day, Ethan designs outdoor and wilderness programming for children and leads land based mentorship work with adults, connecting people to nature, skill, and purpose. He is currently building out The HART Center's campus and a large regenerative garden as living classrooms. He lives and works in Central Texas alongside his partner Angela.
