Faculty & Staff

Nurturing a Culture of Learning, Connection, and Excellence at EACMSI

At EACMSI, our faculty culture is the cornerstone of our school’s enduring legacy and ongoing growth. It serves as the cohesive force that not only sustains us through the years but also propels us forward. This culture is the source of the genuine warmth felt by anyone who steps through our doors and the smiles that grace faces, both young and old, at the close of each week.

Through our collaborative efforts as a community of learners—comprising faculty, staff, and administration—we collectively progress toward the shared objective of student success. Along this journey, we also reap numerous additional rewards. Our joint exploration, thoughtful consideration, and open dialogue cultivate trust, establish a common language, and deepen our mutual understanding. We are a connected and invested community, dedicated to our craft and to one another.

The outcome is an ever-evolving educational model that prepares children for a brighter future.
