About Tremont, she says, “Tremont School’s emphasis on using research-based practices to educate the whole child within a community resonates with me. Tremont’s acknowledgement that we are all working on something and bring our strengths and weaknesses to bear mirrors my own educational philosophy. I am inspired by Tremont’s commitment to interdisciplinary and competency-based learning and believe that Tremont’s mission and vision reflect precisely the sort of school that our children need. My life’s work has been dedicated to empowering young people to thrive regardless of their learning profile or circumstances.”
After growing up in North Carolina and Alabama, Krista earned her BA in Elementary Education and Communication from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and earned an M.Ed in Moderate Special Needs from Boston College.
