I have been blessed to have my children at Science, Etc. for the
last thirteen years. They have been taught by the most incredible,
loving,
nurturing teachers, with the highest of standards. Because of this they
have flourished academically and socially with like-minded children. I
began volunteering soon after my children started classes here. This
will be my twelveth year helping families enroll their children in
our
class offerings, keeping track of scheduling & bookkeeping,
passing out hugs, fixing problems and boo-boos. I
love sharing with families what this school has meant to my family
academically, spiritually and through fellowship with the many friends
we have made here. My goal is to help you enroll your children in
classes that fit the needs of your family. I look forward to meeting
you soon.
I have been working with students in Drawing classes for over 10 years.
I teach
from kindergartners, to high schoolers looking to build a portfolio for
college.
I studied art at East Texas State University and Watercolor under
Charles
McGough. I have painted murals in homes and churches all over the
metroplex.

pass on my
love of art and enthusiasm for visual arts to the students.

I started shooting. I
have a very "home education"
approach to the art and view my class as a spring board for any student

to nurture a passion in still photography. We will be doing lots of

studying each and spending time discussing different ways to shoot and

Kelly Pryor Elem.
Math, Reading, Grammar and High School Government & Economics
I received my B.S. Degree in Education at Georgia College and State
University, with minors in Math and Language Arts. I also received my
Elementary and Secondary Certification through Accredited Christian
School
International. I was married this summer, to my wonderful husband and
best
friend, Danny. I felt God's calling to children's ministries, at the
age of
10. While in high school and college, I became very active in
children's
missions and served on various mission trips. After graduation, I
continued
children's missions, tutored, and worked as an Autistic Therapist. When
I
moved to Texas, to be near my family, I began teaching at a Christian
school.
After several years of teaching, I went back to children's ministries,
as a
children's pastor and director. Through all of these experiences, I was
able
to see how many children were suffering from low self-esteems and
failure.
God kept pulling me toward counseling and teaching children the
importance of
developing their identity in Christ. Once children began realizing
this, they
began to flourish. Through the wonderful example of my parents, I knew
the
importance of home-education. I began teaching children from my home,
which
lead me to Science Etc. I am thrilled that God has blessed me with the
opportunity to teach at Science Etc. While teaching children in
academics,
my prayer is children will truly believe and be confident of who they
are in
Christ.
