Working at a classical school means you’re granted the ability to teach the things worthy of our labor, to discover the nobility of the best that’s been thought, and to emphasize the inherent goodness of every human being. It’s a luxury not many find, and I am truly grateful.

Joining the True North family has given me the best of both worlds. I get to teach the Science that I love today to the inspired and curious leaders of tomorrow. My job is as rewarding and fulfilling as it is humbling, everyday.

It is a great honor and privilege to teach at True North, at a school where every policy, every statement, and every action is formulated with the intent of creating the best possible person from each student. Although the burden of responsibility that we as teachers must adopt for this goal is sometimes heavy, when I see the growth students here have achieved both in their academics and in their humanity, I can go home content in the knowledge that all of our labors were fully justified.

As the art teacher at True North, I believe everyday is an opportunity to promote and ignite a passion for the visual arts in my students. The studio environment allows for my students to thrive and engage in creative development. There is an incredible respect and driven commitment my students, faculty and parents have for the artistic process. As an art teacher, these are the perfect elements for success!

Being a teacher is not an easy job, but working at True North makes it all worthwhile. Not only do I feel professionally supported, but I feel like I belong to a family. At True North everyone (staff, parents, students) cares for each other in a way you don’t often don’t see in a work environment. I truly believe it feels that way because all those who work at True North are dedicated to the vision and mission, and they are truly seeking to find truth, goodness, and beauty in all aspects of their job.
