Our Leadership

---

Katie fell in love with classical education in 2017 and has been helping other people fall in love with it since.  She has spent the last four years classically educating her three children at home. She has been the Director for Classical Conversation for the last 3 years. She can often be found swimming and camping with her family. She also loves road trips, knitting, sewing, quilting all with one airpod while listening to a book or podcast. 

"I believe the Trivium is how all people naturally learn, and I am excited to walk alongside the families of Coram Deo Academy as we plumb the depths of the Classics together. I believe that Christian classical education trains our affections so we will know what is true and beautiful." -Katie McClelland
