Personal Statement
My philosophy is to promote high levels of student engagement through not only direct instruction, but exciting, interactive, hands-on experiences. I believe that each student is God's precious and unique creation. So, my job as a Christian educator is to lovingly guide each one, modeling a deep faith in God, gratitude, and diligence in the pursuit of academic excellence. Through daily instruction, critical-thinking problem solving, discussion, labs, interactive notebooks and team projects, our Academy's academic, social, emotional, and spiritual goals will be well achieved.
