About Me

Mrs. Esther J. Van Riper

I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree from The College of New Jersey in Elementary Education with a concentration in Psychology, and earned my Master of Science degree at Ramapo College of New Jersey in Educational Technology. 

I have also completed a certification program in Gifted Education through Rutgers University and obtained a supervisory certification via the Educational Leadership program at Fairleigh Dickinson University.

I am currently co-president of the Union County Gifted & Talented Association. 

This is my 21st year teaching gifted students and year 17 in Westfield.
