Welcome to Mount Pisgah!
As a teacher with over 20 years of experience and a mother of two, I am deeply honored to serve as the principal. At Mount Pisgah, we are dedicated to providing a comprehensive and immersive English education program. We understand the importance of not just academic development but also the value of instilling respect, empathy, and positive attitudes in our students, ensuring that they grow into compassionate individuals who understand the importance of kindness, cooperation, and inclusivity.
Our school serves both kindergarten and elementary students, and we take pride in integrating learning into their natural play. By balancing child-directed and teacher-guided activities, we carefully plan environments, interactions, routines, and materials that actively engage each child in meaningful learning experiences.
We strive to make learning enjoyable through events such as market days, pajama parties, and spelling bees, providing students with opportunities to build confidence.
