Jay M. Dunlap

In 2010, founding Chief Educational Officer, Jay M Dunlap, created Learning Farm Educational Consultants as a way to give back as a professional educator after his first child was born. Learning Farm donated countless hours to California and international schools as a mentor, teacher trainer and administrator.  Over the last nine years, Learning Farm has continued its mission to improve the quality of education for students with learning differences and those from traditionally underserved communities.  

In 2019, Learning Farm evolved and into an educational non-profit with the same mission and a new name, Learning Farm Educational Resources, Inc. In September 2019, Renaissance Learner Academy opened its doors in San Jose, California.
