Meet Our Teachers

Amy holds a BS in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on education, social sciences, and religion from Liberty University.  She focused on early childhood for ten years before moving into homeschooling.  For the past 17 years, Amy has focused on homeschooling her children while in the past few years helping others to develop the best in their children’s potential.  She currently is a mentor in the Alveary with CMI, hosts a local CM book club, runs a local homeschool library, is director of a local homeschool community outreach, teaches 5th grade Sunday school, and has run co-ops in the CM philosophy.  Her goal is for every child to be able to have the life-giving education that Mason described teaching one child at a time.

Alejandra is a native of Honduras. She obtained her bachelor's degree in Agroindustrial Engineering and taught English in China for four years.  Alejandra currently teaches in a bilingual Spanish-English school using the Charlotte Mason's philosophy.  She has more than 13 years of combined experience teaching Spanish and English as second languages in Honduras, China, and the United States, and has taught all ages from K-12 as well as adults. Alejandra currently lives with her husband in Pennsylvania.  As a language student herself, she is aware of the needs and challenges any student learning other languages may have; that is why she strives to create an atmosphere of confidence and trust where students can feel safe to make mistakes and have fun learning from them.

Stacy is a lifelong pianist with a Music Education degree from Carson Newman College and currently hosts a small studio of piano students.  She has been homeschooling her four children for eight years using Charlotte Mason's philosophies through the Alveary’s curriculum. She enjoys learning more about her methods and practice in a weekly book club where they discuss Charlotte Mason's volumes. Stacy also is active in her church, teaching church school for elementary students. She and her family love hiking and camping in the mountains near their Virginia home. She is excited to help facilitate a class where students can spur each other on to greater thoughts and their best work.

Christina has been singing and performing for as long as she can remember. She has a Master of Music in Voice from the Eastman School of Music and a Bachelor of Voice from Biola University, Summa Cum Laude. She has also completed CMI’s CORE class, a teacher training course in the Charlotte Mason method. In the past, she performed in opera, musical theater, and as a recitalist in New York and the Los Angeles areas. Now she sings in church using an ancient form of music known as Byzantine chant. As a second-generation homeschooler, she spends her days raising four children ranging from middle school to a toddler, and has been using the Alveary from the start. Besides music, she loves nature, good books, kitchen adventures, science fiction, and spending time with family and friends.
