Heather Dernlan | PreK Lead

First Year at ACA: 2018

Heather has taught in a preschool classroom for eleven years, as well as, launching an inaugural preschool program for a small classical school in St. Louis, MO. She joyfully spent the last two years teaching Kindergarten at the same school. She and her husband Steve have four grown children, all of whom benefited from a classical education. On a more personal note, she enjoys both playing games and long distance backpacking with her family. She is an avid runner.

“I believe the most desirable outcome of a student’s earliest years of education is to create a love for learning, a sense of wonder, and an appetite to learn more while realizing God’s personal love for them. These are qualities that classical education instilled in my own children and I endeavor to continue this worthy tradition.”
