Welcome to Our School

The Goddard School of Westerville (Polaris) is a warm and nurturing space where extraordinary awaits your child each and every day.

We’re excited to celebrate 25 years under the same ownership with a refreshing update to our school this summer! Established in 1999, we’re proud to be one of the first Goddard Schools in Central Ohio, with teachers who’ve been with us for over 23 years. We offer multiple flexible food options, the Wonder of Learning curriculum, and Istation for academic growth. We prioritize health and safety with 24/7 video surveillance and provide a chartered, full-day Kindergarten elementary school program.

Owner
I have been the original owner of The Goddard School (Polaris) since 1999 and I'm an on-site active presence in the school daily. After earning my Bachelor’s degree from Miami University in 1994, I marketed technology used for education for DataBeam Corporation, Lotus Software, and IBM's eLearning division. I am the principal of this charter school. The Goddard School (Polaris) operates both as a private preschool and a non-public charter elementary school under the Ohio Department of Education. I have an amazing wife, Teresa, and two beautiful step-daughters, Breia and Mariah, and fun & energetic granddaughter, Scarlett. My wife is a top realtor in Central Ohio (LuxeHomeTeam.com), Breia is also a realtor and a buyer's agent on Teresa's team and Mariah is an esthetician and entrepreneur with her new collective, Raw Beauty, in Grandview. Scarlett is a student at our school and our #1 product tester! We all enjoy a very active family life.
