Joanna Kurtz
Joanna Kurtz has been serving in education since 2002 in a variety of school settings and locations. Her favorite role, however, has been the gift of home educating her own three children. She has many years of full-time classroom teaching experience, homeschooling, tutoring, and experience in curriculum development for various publishers. She loves teaching with Veritas because of the amazing students, families, teachers, and administrators with whom she has the privilege of working. Joanna holds a B.A. in Liberal Studies with a concentration in Child and Family Development from California State University, Fresno, and has held teaching certifications in Texas and Colorado. She is a passionate proponent of classical Christian education, believing it to most closely align with the way God has designed children to learn. Besides teaching, she loves reading good stories, rain, coffee, the color purple, and camping with her family in their travel trailer, especially at the beach or next to a lake. She is a lifelong learner who seeks to encounter God’s goodness, beauty, and truth in all things, and to help others do the same.
Joanna lives in Franklin, TN with her husband and their three teenagers. She is grateful to have grown up with believing parents. Having loved the Lord since childhood, it was later as an adult that she began to see His providential hand in drawing her to Himself. Believing that God’s truth encompasses all areas of education and life, Joanna’s passion is learning and sharing God’s Word and guiding students in developing a biblical worldview.
