Mrs.
Mathers is our Art Teacher and has worked at MCH for six years.
She has an MFA degree from Drake University and has taught art for over

extensive reading in the Montessori philosophy and works to incorporate

Mrs. Ward is our Music Teacher and has
worked at MCH since 1999. She has a B.A. in Music Education from
Graceland University and previously taught at a Montessori school in
Ajax, Ontario. Jeannine has attended portions of the Montessori
workshop that focused on music to incorporate Montessori principals in
her approach with our students. Jeannine has her Teaching

Ms. Terrell is our French Teacher.
She has a B.A. from Drake University. Though her degree is in
French and Education, she has a very eclectic background, which
includes, ballet, classical piano, and yoga. Ruth feels that all
these elements work together very well in the Montessori system and
allow students to express different facets of themselves while being
introduced to a foreign language.
