Mrs. Warmouth's first introduction to classical Christian education came in 1999 as she and her husband were investigating educational options for their children. They found a wonderful school in our hometown and immediately thought “I wish I would have gotten this kind of education.” That same year she attended her first ACCS conference and started teaching kindergarten.

Over the last 24 years, she has taught kindergarten, second grade, and third grade in well-established classical schools. The opportunity to be involved in the classical movement has been one of the greatest gifts of her life. She is grateful to the Lord for the things she has learned and for the many children she has been allowed to spend time with.

In addition to teaching in the classroom, she has had the opportunity to present faculty and parent education classes in several classical, Christian schools around the country. She also has two children who have both been blessed with receiving a K-12 classical, Christian education and her daughter has gone on to pursue Latin at New Saint Andrews College.

Mrs. Warmouth considers it a privilege and blessing to now have the opportunity to love and serve families at Trinitas Christian School.
