Sean Strickland

History

Sean has his BA in History Teaching from the University of Utah as well as a Masters of Arts in Teaching from Westminster College. He has always felt more comfortable with non traditional classrooms, non traditional students, and a non traditional career. He has taught every level from preschool to college classes, was an administrator, a college recruiter, and an educational software salesman. No matter where he ended up, his daydreams would always drift back to teaching students.

Covid reignited his desire to get back into the classroom and his experiences since have cemented his desire for fair and equitable education. Learning should be a vulnerable activity and his passion is creating the nurturing space needed for every student to explore, develop, and become the best version of themselves.

When he isn’t teaching, Sean is probably doodling, playing with his family and dogs, or playing role playing games with close friends.

Hear From Our Community

I especially appreciate the school’s focus on the whole child, which includes social skills development, in vivo problem-solving, community and service experiences, the arts, and practical living skills among so many other things! Most importantly, our children LOVE their school and literally gush about it anytime someone asks them.

Words cannot express the respect and gratitude I have for Elizabeth Academy. Our children’s experience (six years thus far) at both schools has been outstanding.

Our girls have attended Elizabeth Academy for six years now, and we can’t imagine sending them anywhere else for school. The individual attention and caring, collaborative environment at EA have been so good for both of them and we love the holistic Montessori approach to education. We also greatly appreciate all the efforts of the administration and teachers to provide our girls the ability to go to school safely during the pandemic. It has been a lifesaver for our family.
