My philosophy of education is to remain as conservative to tried and true models as possible, leveraging technology only when it enhances a learning experience, and then only for students that opt for it. My background is in the classics and I am particularly keen on making the seven arts curriculum available to the modern audience, leveraging technology to make this more accessible.

I started out as an Electrical Engineer University of Maryland, but finished with a degree in Computer Science. I also have a Music Degree from the University of Heidelberg’s Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst. 

Education as one of the pillars of democracy is more important than ever after the other pillars have lost their supportive strength.

Why education is important.
A Christian education prepares a child for the future, it builds confidence, opens doors to greater opportunities and allows for stability in which a person can pursue whatever God has called them to do in life. 
​
Philosophy of education 
The ultimate goal of Christian education must be to lead students to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and then give them the tools they need to serve Him. Education should encompass all areas of the students life, including core subjects, character building and practical living, for both now and in the future. Children should be taught to have a lifelong love of learning, to enjoy gaining new knowledge about the world around them and the God who made them.

The meanings of the latin roots of the word education provide a great deal of insight for my philosophy of education--"To draw out from within", "to rear or to bring up", or "to lead forth". These imply a reverence or respect for the child or adult from whom I wish to illicit a response.  For me there is a desire, and a curiosity, to see what will come forth.  From that respect and wonder, I create a safe environment in which mutual respect and risk is encouraged, allowing for the other's growth.  That growth may, at times, be physical, mental, emotional, academic, spiritual, etc. I am aware that my actions and speech, inside and outside of a designated learning environment, are always a part of that "leading forth".  Education is a never ending process.  There is as much for me to learn from a student as there is for the student to learn from me.

A philosophy of education is the shape of one’s ideas and beliefs about the practice of educating students. A personal philosophy of education should be based upon sound research, a blending of theory and best practices, and a reflection of the educator’s personality. 
  • I believe that all children can experience success.
  • I believe in encouraging students to reach their fullest potential.
  • I believe that a teacher must be enthusiastic and loving toward her students.
  •  I believe that in order to produce high-quality learning, students must continually build on skills gained.
  • I believe in a child-centered environment that promotes thinking, exploration, and learning.
  • I believe that the use of technology can foster motivation and develop skills.
  •  I believe that God is the center of learning and knowledge. 
Education is the acquisition of skill and knowledge through a process of learning. While this is true, I believe that acquiring skills is only a part. As a teacher I try to instill a love for learning in my students. If students love to learn then they will continue on a lifetime of learning. Education is a necessary process in life. Students need skills to be successful in their future lives. Education is training of those skills and knowledge. Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go..." Education in Biblical knowledge as well as reading, writing, and arithmetic is part of this training.
