Kajsa has been surrounded by classical Christian education for as long as she can remember. She graduated from Logos School in Moscow, and then went on to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Music Performance. While following her husband’s operatic career around the country, she began teaching at The Geneva School of Manhattan, the only classical Christian school in New York City.
After several years of teaching, Kajsa began to feel called to be in administration. God provided an unexpected opportunity through the Covid lockdowns. With the performance world shut down, she and her family moved to Wichita, Kansas where she became the Director of Academics and Fine Arts at the Classical School of Wichita. In 2022, Kajsa was hired by The Ambrose School in Boise, Idaho, to run their newest campus, and became the Dean there. She and her husband both work at the school, and both their children have now graduated from Ambrose.
As many schools throughout the movement are now in their second, third and even fourth decades, new challenges arise. Not only is the culture seeking to seep in, there are growing pains with size of schools, demand for other models, and a constant need and empty bench for teachers. This 2-part talk addresses these challenges from a multi-generational perspective.
Part I: Starting Out or Starting Up — Priorities, basic needs, blunders to avoid, hiring issues, teacher training, gatekeeping, parental involvement.
Part II: Growing In and With Grace — Growing pains, blunders to avoid, maturing in a culture war, keeping the vision.
These sessions would touch on many key points: 7 laws of teaching, teacher training, leadership, parental involvement and education, staying true to the mission and vision, and more. Takeaways would be practical tips on how to carry these out, starting points or ways to go back to the basics, and some systems and processes that can help ease the burden of wearing many hats.
