Our Story
Armitage House was founded by Tara Juniper, an engineer, educator, and researcher with a background in industrial engineering, science research, and systems thinking. Her work spans renewable energy systems, space-weather research conducted in collaboration with NASA-related research initiatives, education, and curriculum design, with a focus on translating complex scientific ideas into meaningful learning experiences for children.
Today, Armitage House serves homeschooling families through research-backed, project-based curriculum that integrates science, critical thinking, creativity, and real-world problem solving. Tara’s ongoing work in early childhood education informs learning experiences that are engaging, purposeful, and deeply human.
2015
In 2015, a deeply personal moment reshaped Tara Juniper’s path. Becoming pregnant sparked a profound curiosity about how humans truly learn from the very beginning of life. That curiosity grew into years of exploration across cognition, neuroscience, creativity, and child development, focusing on the conditions that allow children’s natural intelligence, curiosity, and imagination to flourish.
2024
In 2024, Tara achieved a major scientific milestone with a breakthrough discovery and a pending patent for detecting space weather without satellites. This work addressed a critical vulnerability in global communication systems and reinforced a lifelong commitment to systems thinking, scientific inquiry, and solving real-world problems through research and innovation.
Mission & Vision
Armitage House exists to transform how children and families experience learning by integrating science, critical thinking, creativity, and real-world problem solving into education that feels alive and purposeful. Our vision is a future where children are empowered to think deeply, ask better questions, and lead with curiosity in a rapidly changing world.
