Meet Our Director of Teaching and Learning

By Science & Arts Academy

​As Director of Teaching and Learning, Karen Boyle manages the day-to-day operations that relate to teaching and learning at Science & Arts Academy. For nearly 25 years, Karen has been working as a teacher and administrator in independent schools. Her belief that relationships are critical to a child's ability to learn guides her approach to education. “Our best learning occurs when we step outside of our comfort zone, challenge ourselves, and accept the risk of making a mistake. When children feel connected to their teachers, they are more apt to do these things."
