All of our teachers have qualifying degrees in either teaching or their subject area of both. Many of our teachers are certified by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and hold graduate level degrees. Our school principal is a certified Middle and High school Mathematics teacher , and also holds several Masters Degrees, including a Masters in Mathematics and Educational Administration. She is also certified as a Master teacher and as a principal by the state of Texas. All of our Montessori Teachers and Assistant Teachers are Montessori certified, and two of them are certified as Day Care Directors.
