ANDREW

Hi there,

I'm Andrew Jones. I'm a teacher at Victory Christian Academy in Valparaiso Indiana. I teach and have taught a lot of courses including English for grades 9-12, creative writing, publications, speech, honors English courses, and yearbook.

I love working a a small school (my average class size is 15). Getting to know the students personally and being able to mentor them through the hurricane that is high school is an immense privilege.

I've taught for a total of five years and hope to never stop. Teaching is a passion for me, something I didn't know until I started in 2011 when I just had an English degree and a tiny resume.

Fun fact about me: the NWIWP Summer Institute is only the second education course I've taken. I do not have a license with the state and am certified through a associate that does the accreditation for my school. So I'm so excited to finally be getting some formal education... education!

On the side I like to write, read, fix cars with my dad, travel the world, make radio stories, play Magic the Gathering, and find clothes that actually fit me (I'm 6 foot 6).
