Sarah Smith holds a BA in Biblical Literature with a minor in Philosophy from Olivet Nazarene University as well as an MDiv from Asbury Theological Seminary where she specialized in Bronze Age Archaeology, Biblical Languages, and Ancient Near Eastern History. When she wasn’t in an extremely nerdy class, you would have found her in the school’s music rooms singing with Orpheus Choir or on the stage performing the latest musical (her personal favorite was portraying Amy in Little Women).
With great enthusiasm she is starting her fourth year teaching at Sundial. When she first encountered SCSF years ago she remembers calling her husband and saying, “This is the school. We are no longer looking because we found it.” She was drawn to Sundial’s commitment to building up virtuous children. She doesn’t simply like to impart data for the sake of having knowledge. She teaches her students with the intention to build a full, thriving, life-giving world view. In addition to working at SCSF, Sarah has taught through Schole Academy and is starting her third year as a catechist for the Montessori Religious Ed program “Catechesis of the Good Shepard.”
She and her husband have three (soon-to-be-four!) children; two of which are currently Sundial students. When not at Sundial you will find Sarah belting out showtunes in her kitchen, reading Fantasy novels with her family cat, Xerxes, curled on her lap, or decorating her house for the next liturgical season.
