Being part of this energy and commitment aimed at developing successful students is contagious and of great value to me as a person.

  • I really enjoy teaching science at CORE because of the smaller class sizes. I get the opportunity to spend one on one time with each student and see them year after year. The small class size also makes it possible for me to have the kids do more hands on activities.

  • Personalized learning is an exciting alternative to traditional education. Parents get to be involved in the process, and students can pursue their own interests with curriculum tailored to meet their unique learning styles. For the past 13 years, I have enjoyed the personal involvement with students and parents that personalized learning provides.
