WHY I LOVE TO TEACH

“I love helping students build confidence in themselves and uncover the beauty and order often found in Mathematics. I am gifted with a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on each student, and I find it profoundly rewarding to contribute to their formation in alignment with God's design. There is such joy in aiding my students on their journey towards becoming future saints!”

 

Teaching in the Upper School is beautiful because at this stage they are beginning to develop their own identities, refine their values, and prepare for a larger world outside our walls. It's incredibly rewarding to guide them in this formative period, as they become young men and women and navigate the challenges and opportunities of adolescence. I find great joy in helping them build a strong foundation for their future and watch them emerge as thoughtful, confident, young adults ready to live their faith out loud!

WHY ARCHANGELS ACADEMY

​The students’ testimonies of the profound love and faith they experienced within Archangels moved me. What ultimately won me over was the dedication of the administration, whose heartfelt commitment to the children and to every member of our community was palpable. Classical education, with its emphasis on the good, the true, and the beautiful, serves as a guiding light, inspiring both our students and educators to pursue these ideals.
