Faculty

Our

Team

From Kindergarten through Fifth Grade, the passion, guidance, support, and skill of our administration and faculty are at the heart of KJDS. Our faculty is highly-skilled and carefully chosen. All of our homeroom teachers hold Master's degrees in Education, and our specialty teachers are strongly qualified in their fields as well.

Our teachers have a wide range of personalities, backgrounds, and worldviews. Their foremost mission is teaching students the skills and knowledge necessary for life. In our classrooms, debate and discussion thrive. Teachers encourage intellectual curiosity, interdisciplinary thought, and academic integrity.

Each of our staff members contributes to our unique KJDS school culture that leads to success for all learners.
