WHY I LOVE TO TEACH

"I love teaching because it allows me to continue learning. Every time I share something remarkable about God, His love, and our role in His creation, I receive new insights, perspectives, and questions from my students in return. In the classroom, I see myself as both a student and a teacher, experiencing the joy of discovery alongside those who are encountering these wonders for the first time. I feel privileged to work with upper school students who seek the truth and are willing to engage with the complex realities of our fallen-yet-redeemed humanity."

 

WHY ARCHANGELS ACADEMY

Mr. Peck values the genuine and intentional Catholic community at Archangels Academy, which emphasizes the love of Christ and the pursuit of holiness. As a classical school, it aims to develop the whole person by providing an encounter with timeless wisdom and inviting students into what philosopher Mortimer Adler refers to as “The Great Conversation.” Grounded in a clear understanding of humanity, the school recognizes each person as a beloved creation of God who has fallen into sin but is redeemed through Christ's sacrifice. Archangels Academy engages students in every aspect of their humanity, preparing them not just for life, but for eternity.
