5th Grade Teacher

The Stonehaven School exists to glorify God by cultivating truth, goodness, and beauty in students through a distinctly Christ-centered classical education. Our school is refreshingly unique in its class offerings, thoroughly classical in its approach to learning, and intentionally focused on the cultivation of virtue in our students. The Stonehaven School strives to be the premier classical Christian K-12 school in the Metro Atlanta area with a reputation for Christian virtue and academic excellence.

The foundational commitments of The Stonehaven School include the following:

• We believe that every aspect of our children's education must be intentionally founded upon biblical truth.
• We are committed to the traditional and long-established, exemplary forms and standards in education handed down from ancient and medieval educators.
• We believe that true education culminates in wise and virtuous students who are being conformed to the image of Christ.
• We are dedicated to teaching and learning with excellence as unto the Lord.
• We believe that true education recognizes that hearts and minds are shaped not only by ideas and knowledge, but also by practices, habits, routines, and liturgies.
• We seek to assist parents in their God-given task of educating their children in the Lord.
• We believe parents should actively participate in the life and community of the school.

The Stonehaven School is a non-profit 501(c)(3), non-denominational, classical Christian school, accredited through both the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and the Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS).

The goal of a classical educator is to instill a passion for learning in a child that will never cease to burn. Our teachers are not forming and shaping a person that can do something but rather a person that can be someone. We are training students for God's calling on their lives, preparing them well through a Christ-centered classical education to fulfill their calling for the honor and glory of God.
