Jared Melton | Humanities and Composition Teacher

First Year at ACA: 2024

Whether in math, history, or composition, students in Jared’s class can expect wide-ranging conversations and lively discussion that highlight the topic being studied. His immense curiosity is infectious. He is passionate about passing on the skills of contemplation and understanding to the next generation. Through class discussions and written assignments, students transition from learning answers to contemplating the “why” as they step into logic and rhetoric school. 

Jared's college career at Colorado Christian University has been focused on mathematics, education, Biblical studies and Hebrew. His love of language, culture and travel has motivated him to adventure through 5 continents. 

Due to his upbringing in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, you will commonly find Jared exploring the outdoors through backpacking, rock climbing, and snowboarding. He tries to spend much of his time reading about and spectating the human experience, especially through the performing arts. Above all things, Jared wishes to bring glory to the Creator.
