Faculty & Staff

The faculty and staff of Cambridge School are dedicated professionals who feel called to serve at Cambridge. Each has a unique story of what led them to Cambridge, but while the stories vary, the common thread is that each person feels that God desires them to be a part of the Cambridge community.

As a group, the faculty and staff are dedicated, hard-working, and collegial. They have a genuine love for children and a genuine desire to see their students grow in their hearts, spirits, and minds. The faculty and staff model “life-long learning” by constantly honing their own skills and class lessons, researching areas of study, and challenging students to actively think, learn, and experience beyond the classroom walls.

The school is blessed to have men and women who genuinely love their work and have sacrificed much to be in our community. And, we are especially blessed to have men and women who view each child as a precious blessing—wonderfully and fearfully made.
