Lower School Teacher

Hope Schnadenberg

Hope brings extensive experience from a variety of roles in both general and special education. She loves getting to know her students and believes that creating a classroom where everyone feels welcomed, supported, and comfortable being themselves is the foundation for a great year of learning.

As a military spouse, Hope has had the opportunity to live in both Europe and Asia, experiences that gave her a love and appreciation for different cultures and perspectives. These experiences have helped shape her belief that every student brings something unique and valuable to the classroom, and she loves finding creative ways to meet each child’s individual needs. She is passionate about helping students build confidence while discovering their own strengths.

Hope is committed to continually expanding her knowledge and improving her teaching through ongoing professional learning and reflection. She holds a TESOL Professional Certificate from Arizona State University and is certified in teaching English as a second language. She is trained in Orton-Gillingham Plus (OG+). 

When she’s not at school, Hope enjoys spending time with her husband and their son, soaking up the sun, getting lost in a good book, attempting to run, and traveling.
