Summit Christian Academy - Leadership Team
Dr. Rachel Jensen, Classical Education Coordinator
Dr. Jensen is currently an Associate Professor of classical education, literacy, psychology, and literature. She is also a Certified Academic Language Therapist and Literacy Interventionist. Dr. Jensen specializes in developing curricula and providing support for teachers, teacher candidates, schools, and scholars, specifically in how to implement classical pedagogies. Currently, she serves at Colorado Christian University as an Assistant Professor in the School of Education, where she supervises student teachers and teaches courses. She has an extensive background in classical education, leadership, coaching, literacy intervention, dyslexia, and biblical integration to provide teachers with research-based pedagogies that enable them to gain instructional proficiency.
Mrs. McKim, Executive Director
Richelle is the Executive Director and C-Founder of Summit Christian Academy. She is a Colorado native, has a B.S in Business Finance and is a homeschooling mom to her high schooler. After taking the leap, she changed from a "I'll never homeschool" mom to "I will never go back to public school" mom. The academic and spiritual outcomes were dramatically improved, and she realized that it was unnecessary and unhealthy to send children to school 40 hours a week to overcrowded classrooms led by undervalued educators. So, she built the program she couldn't find in hopes that she could reach more families. She wanted to design a core academic program that would help both veteran homeschoolers and new-to-homeschool families be well-supported and find community locally.
Her leadership philosophy places the highest importance on providing a classical program that places equal importance on high academic outcomes, home discipleship and modeling a love for Jesus. She is committed to providing true classical learning, highly qualified teachers to walk along side us, and a culture of Christian community.
