Teaching History and Qualifications: I have taught fifth grade at ACA for eleven years.  I have a degree in Liberal Arts from CU Boulder and have gone to CMC Montessori School Training Seminars with the Bureau of Education and I have gone to Research ACSI training sessions and conferences.        

Reason For Teaching: God gives us work.  I enjoy learning along with the students.

Stan Badgett

Teaching History and Qualifications:  I’ve taught at ACA for eleven years.  I have a BA in Fine Arts and MLS in Language and Communication from Regis University in Denver, with additional graduate work at Bread Loaf School of English, Middlebury College.  My poems have appeared in a number of literary journals.

Reason For Teaching:  God has called me to teach.  Teaching is profoundly joyful for me; a great privilege.

Personal Mission Statement:  I want to communicate the truths of Scripture to my students.  I want them to know and understand who God is, as he has revealed himself to us in his Word.  Too often in our ure, sometimes even in the church, the truth is brushed aside as unimportant.  If we really love God we will want to know him as he is.

Teacher Comments:  My classes are characterized by lively discussions, with freedom to probe difficult questions.  I encourage the trait of reasonableness: ability and willingness to reason.

Reason For Teaching: I teach because I want to make a difference in the world.

Marsha Hutson 

Teaching History and Qualifications: I was an elementary school teacher for thirty three and half years, grades one through four.  After I retired in 1997, I substituted but always hoped I’d be able to teach in a Christian school.

Reason For Teaching: I love helping children learn because they are so excited.  They just “light up” sometimes!

Personal Mission Statement:  By God’s grace and preparation, I want to be available to help any child unlock and open doors to scholastic and spiritual understanding.

Teacher Comments:  In 2005, the “dream given”, brought fulfillment to my dream of teaching in a Christian school when I was prompted three times to apply for a position.  Since it was God’s plan, I obeyed and came to ACA.
