“As the year at CSA Xenia has progressed we have witnessed a major transformation in our son. He has transitioned from a reluctant student to an excited academic participant as he takes ownership of his education and continues to learn HOW to learn. His personal growth has also excelled due to the many opportunities to interact and collaborate with other students while completing projects. We eagerly anticipate the coming years!”

“Interacting with students both formally and informally and with students in elementary education and higher education, I realize they all are more motivated and curious when instruction and assessment of learning is engaging and authentic. A STE(A)M approach to learning ignites students' natural desire to problem solve, create, collaborate, and successful completion of a task motivates them for the next challenge.”

“Because I passionately believe that people are stamped in the image of their Creator and given the planet as a giant sandbox in which to play and create, I am committed to design learning experiences that help people live out who they were created to be and what they were created for.”
