Angela Spayde

Before landing at MCH in 2014, Angela worked at independent schools throughout the country that served students with language-based learning differences. From teaching art in South Carolina, working in development and administration in Vermont, to teaching 4th grade in Massachusetts, Angela learned repeatedly that our gifts as individuals come in many different forms and can be nourished through creative approaches to education. The Montessori philosophy and the MCH culture spoke to her for this very reason. At MCH, students are invited on a journey of self-discovery where they learn about who they are by discovering what they love; simultaneously learning to care for the people and world around them. They learn about what it means to be in community with one another and how to advocate for themselves and others. She is passionate about co-creating an environment where our students, families, staff and faculty all feel connected, seen, and heard; an environment that seeks to continually adapt and be better while honoring the individuals within it. Angela holds a BA in Art History and Studio Art from Santa Clara University and an M.Ed in Integrative Education from Endicott College. She is a certified Orton-Gillingham instructor, and is certified in Positive Discipline at the Early Childhood, Elementary, and Parent levels. Outside of the classroom, Angela loves to do yoga, make art, hike, garden, cook and explore any creative or mindful endeavor with her husband and two children- who are all a part of the MCH community.
