This is Mrs. Elliott's sixth year here at St. Andrew's College.  What she likes most about SAC are the motivated students and dynamic staff.  Ms. Elliott teaches French and Geography in the Middle School. 

Ms. Elliott studied Criminal Justice and Public Policy with a double minor in French and Sociology at The University of Guelph.  While she was studying at Guelph, she was a member of the Ultimate Frisbee team.  She completed her Bachelor of Education at York University with a specialization in French and Urban Diversity.  She also holds a Specialist in teaching French as a Second Language.  She has studied French most of her life, and her passion for the language stems from her travels to Quebec and France.  Over the past few years she has volunteered at a school in Québec, and studied at a Language School in Trois Pistoles, Québec.  She enjoys sharing her passion for the French language and culture with her students through field trips, including cultural exchanges and trips.  In 2008, she took a group of Middle School students to France for an 8 day cultural excursion.  Every January, she takes Grade 8 students to Montreal for a week-long exchange.  Her enthusiasm for Geography has developed through her travels through Europe, North America, and Central America.  She looks forward to passing along her passion for Languages and Geography to her students in the classroom.

 Once again, Ms. Elliott will coach U14 volleyball and Alpine Skiing.  She is excited to continue her work with the Environmental Club to implement environmental initiatives in the Middle School and around SAC.  She will also assist Mr. Richardson during Tuesday arts as an alto saxophone and trumpet player, and facilitate the Beyond the Gates outdoor education program.

 She loves teaching because every day is different and she finds the energy and humour from the students contagious.  There is nothing like helping a student conquer a challenge and gain more confidence!
