Meet Our Teachers and Staff

Everyday our teachers create opportunities for exploration and learning by establishing engaging environments where students feel safe, comfortable, and confident.  

 

Global Village Academy has some of the most qualified teachers in the country and we are extremely proud of the qualities of our teaching staff.  All our teachers have college degrees and many have advanced degrees.  Each teacher holds a current license/certificate from the state of Ohio, along with all required endorsements for the particular grade and subject level that he/she teaches.  Our amazing instructors are caring, enthusiastic, and dedicated to helping students exceed their every expectation—read some of their stories below.
