Head of School (Classical Liberal Arts)

Angelus Academy is a small, faith-filled community of caring educators and supportive parents who are committed to forming the next generation of Catholic faithful through a liberal arts education in the classical tradition. Our small class sizes, unique Salvation History-based curriculum, and dedication to the Catholic liberal arts tradition foster a love of learning, the mastery of skills, and most importantly, a sense of God's love and His plans for each student. Our school year is enriched by many special events, traditions, local field trips, daily prayer, weekly Mass, and monthly Adoration in our school's chapel. Our faculty and staff share a love of learning and a desire to continue growing professionally and spiritually.
