Meet the Teacher
What is your name?
My name is Elizabeth Van Deusen
What do you teach?
I teach the Primary 1 class. That's K4/K5
How many years have you taught at True Foundation?
I am brand new as of January 2025
What do you appreciate most about the Principle Approach?
I like old books and appreciate the emphasis on primary sources.
What do you see in your students that is most encouraging?
They are so curious and full of potential.
Why do you love teaching at True Foundation?
I like being able to teach from a Biblical perspective and actually say so when something reminds me of the Bible. That harder to do in a public school.
How do you teach Biblical worldview in your classroom?
One big part of kindergarten is learning to get along with others. It's the most natural thing in the world to discuss that in terms of what God says about it.
What do you think most students appreciate about your class?
They seem to like it when I read good books to them.
What is unique about you, your talents, or interests that you bring to the class room?
I'm also a writer, so finding intersting ways to explain things comes naturally. And I have plenty of imagination.
What have you seen in your students over the years that has touched your heart the most?
It's no small thing to be trusted by a child. I pray I can live up to that.
