Jeff Kishpaugh

Jeff graduated from Emory University with a degree in political science and completed a postgraduate diploma program in Russian language in Scotland. He then obtained his lower and upper elementary Montessori teaching credentials. Jeff enjoys creating an environment where children feel unconditionally accepted and appreciated, giving lessons that excite them about learning, and facilitating their social, emotional, and academic growth. He enjoys meditation, living in the present moment, walking, games, and being in nature. One of his favorite parts of teaching is seeing children assume greater and greater levels of responsibility, whether managing projects, resolving conflicts, or guiding their own learning. This will be his 19th year as a Montessori lead teacher.
