In education, Mrs. Tersigni believes that it's critical to consider the whole child. She feels it's important to honour every child's personal interests and inquiries they have about the big wide world around them. This creates exciting and authentic experiences where the most optimal and meaningful learning happens. Mrs. Tersigni is passionate about helping children master the skill of being present and self-aware. She also loves guiding young children to be able to self-identify positive virtues within themselves and also recognize virtues in those around them.
Mrs. Tersigni was instantly attracted to the outdoor environment and breathtaking nature surrounding SJK. She believes that children are most calm, present, and engaged when they have the opportunity to learn outdoors. She appreciates the warm and welcoming community of students, faculty, and staff at SJK.
