Our Team

Meg Perry 

Hi, I'm Meg! I am Principal here at Exodus Academy. I have a decade of experience in education and professions in child life. I am passionate about sharing the love of Christ with the next generation. I am born and raised in Spartanburg, SC, and I currently live in Boiling Springs with my husband and daughter. I graduated from Anderson University in 2018. In my spare time I enjoy DIY projects and quality time with my friends and family.  I am eager and ready to help your students succeed! 

Jakeb Perry 

My name is Jakeb Perry, and I am half of the founding pair of Exodus Academy. My wife and I opened up Exodus in 2023. I  have a background in ministry (youth to be specific) and my passion is helping kids realize who they are in Christ. My role at Exodus is to manage the books for parents and staff, so you will be seeing me from time to time. In my spare time I enjoy coaching sports, constructing DIY projects, spending time with my family, and relaxing. I love the Georgia Bulldogs football team, and if I'm not repping Exodus Academy, I will be repping them. I'm excited to get to know your family better and see how we can serve you here. 

Britney Thomas 

Hello! I'm Britney, and I'm delighted you've stopped by Exodus Academy. As the Co-Founder and a driving force in Community Outreach, I bring over a decade in education, program development, and business management. I have a rich background working with elementary students, spanning from preschool to 2nd grade and beyond. I am passionate about fostering growth at Exodus Academy and enriching the Inman community.

Living in Inman, SC, with my sweet hubby and five kiddos, we cherish beach getaways, travel, and meaningful moments in the Word. A good cup of coffee is a must in my daily routine! My ultimate goal is to see God's will unfold in the lives of the families we serve. Join us on this exciting journey at Exodus Academy, where we're dedicated to the growth and development of your precious kiddos!

​Lindsey Shilling

Hi, I’m Lindsey! I’m proud to be entering my second year at Exodus Academy, where I’ll be teaching both math and art. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree from Converse University and previously spent six years in the public school system. Before joining the team at Exodus, our family also homeschooled for two years—an experience that deepened my appreciation for flexible, student-centered education.

I’m passionate about creating a classroom environment where creativity, critical thinking, and kindness thrive. Whether we’re tackling problem-solving in math or expressing ourselves through art, my goal is to help students grow with confidence and curiosity. I’m especially excited to be part of a holistic, micro-school approach to learning that honors the whole child and fosters meaningful connection.

Outside of school, I enjoy a quiet, simple life with my family here in the Upstate, and I’m always reading something new. I’m honored to walk alongside your child on their learning journey at Exodus Academy.
