Why St. Anne’s-Belfield?
I am committed to the School. I believe that teaching is about making connections with students, parents, and faculty, and striving to ensure that every student is successful at his or her highest ability. I also believe that teaching is learning — it is fun, exciting, intellectually stimulating, and a lot of hard work.
