Christine's Program

I am a lifelong educator and traveler, and I love to share my passion for learning and travel. I began my teaching career in Costa Rica, where I taught English as a foreign language for two years. In Pennsylvania, I teach high school French, Spanish and Social Studies. In addition to living in Costa Rica for 2+ years, I lived in Belgium for one year and traveled and volunteered for six months on six continents with my four children. In total, I have taught for almost 20 years and have traveled to more than 40 countries.
