Staff Profile: Angela Parkin

Works with Students in Grades:

Grades: K-9

Educational Philosophy:

As a life-long learner I want to encourage that love of learning in my students as well. Learning at home is an opportunity to embrace children’s interests and learning styles and individualize the learning to help students be successful. My goal is to support families in finding the educational materials, learning strategies and routines that work for them while meeting BC curriculum requirements. 

Educational Interests:

I live with my husband and three children in Williams Lake, BC where we homeschool our three kids, garden and raise animals on our small farm.  I really value the natural learning that happens in daily life: cooking, baking, reading, spending time in nature, gardening, playing board games, building forts, taking care of animals, etc. We do a lot of hands-on, multi-aged learning and strive to incorporate a lot of reading, art, music and nature-based learning into our days.
