Professor Roddy has been an English teacher at the mission school for 8 years. Historically, he taught in upper primary school (grades 4-7), but this year he accepted the challenge of bringing English to our littlest learners. He is leading our English program for kindergarten, first and second grades and is doing an exceptional job at it. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Roddy to ask him about his teaching experience and why he thinks the English language is so important to his students. Here is what he shared: 

The Mission School is thrilled to announce the remarkable progress of our technology program as we embark on its second year. With this program, we are implementing a comprehensive technology curriculum for the first time ever, demonstrating our commitment to equipping our students with the skills they need for the digital age.

Two weeks ago, the English department hosted an event celebrating the beginning of the school year. I had the chance to speak with Paula, an eighth grade student who is attending the Mission School for the first time this year.
