Hi! ​My name is Karla Fitz, my students call me Miss Karla.
​
I am originally from Venezuela, where I lived until 2007 when I moved to Hastings, NE to learn English as an exchange student.

I then had the opportunity to pursue my passion of Vocal Music & Studio Art
at Hasting College. I have since earned my Masters in Music and English as a Second Language.

I then pursued a calling to become a teacher as a lead preschool teacher, before moving on to teach Spanish for Saint Joseph Catholic School here in Lincoln, Nebraska for the last three years.

My husband Jeremy and I have two beautiful little girls, a 4-year-old and a 1 year-old.  The girls were the reason we decided I would try staying home. However, education has always been a great part of me, and the calling never left.

Ever since I was a little girl, I remember my dad saying, “Studying is your one and only job” and we always did our job well. My mom was a music teacher and I followed in her footsteps.

It was while missing my students, that I saw an ad for the Acton Academy Lincoln Guide. The idea of children learning independently, promoting freedom, and encouraging challenges excited me and I knew I had to apply. Once the interview process started, I quickly understood this was not just another school, it was a safe environment for children to develop their interests, their curiosity, and experiment with different subjects at their own pace. Acton is a place where answers aren’t given to the students by the teacher, rather each hero is a teacher at Acton as each of them get to discover answers themselves or better yet, with the help of fellow learners.

I knew this was my place to be.

Today, I am assigned with the task of guiding and helping these learners grow as they develop their own Hero’s Journey. I cannot wait to start this journey alongside them!
