Faculty:Teaching to the Heart and the Mind

At Rockway, our ninth graders study English with a published poet.   Our Technology students re-tool cars to run on vegetable oil, and electricity, under the supervision of a licensed mechanic with degrees in Theology and Social Development Studies.  Our Drama students study with a distinguished professional actor and director.  Our senior Art students study principles of design with a professional artist, former art therapist, and nationally recognized Gallery Director of Art Education.  Our Grade 9 and 10 French students have a tri-lingual teacher who worked as a professional interpreter and translator, and can navigate the streets of Tokyo as easily as those of Paris.  

More than half of Rockway’s teachers have Masters-level degrees or advanced professional designations.  Many also enjoyed successful professional careers in their areas of expertise before dedicating themselves to sharing their love of their subjects with our students.  Outside class hours, our teachers can be found running clubs, coaching winning teams, designing sets for drama productions, leading orchestras and award-winning choirs, and enriching student experiences in countless ways.

Rockway’s teachers are passionate about their subjects, gifted at teaching, and generous with their time and energy as they work together to create a matchless educational experience for our students.  Nothing makes them prouder than our students’ successes.

Our teachers have their biographies online here.
