Mrs. Amanda Ross To All Instructors

Hello! My name is Amanda Ross, and I am so excited to be teaching at Heritage!  A little about myself: I have been married to my wonderful husband Kevin for 16 years. We have two sweet daughters, Naomi and Phoebe.  We feel so blessed and fortunate to have found Heritage. We love all the variety and opportunities available, which have helped make our homeschool experience even better! God called us into homeschooling, and the journey has been very rewarding for our family.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education (K-9) from National Louis University, and also have extensive training in special education. I have theater & public speaking experience, which has become a passion through ministry opportunities at our church. 
I worked in local public and private schools until we had our first daughter. I have been a stay-at-home mom since having our children, but have continued to work in education by creating a private tutoring business for children from the elementary level up to college.  Our family is also super blessed to be active in our church, where I currently serve as Assistant Pastor’s wife and lead the Teen Girls’ ministry. Overall, I have more than 26 years of teaching experience. 

The best, most life-changing experience that ever happened to me was accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. After years of living under a false profession, God in His infinite mercy pursued this girl until I finally surrendered to His will for my life.  To God be all the praise for any teaching ability that I have--without Him, I am nothing.  My best ideas come from the Lord.  To Him be the glory for it ALL.  I hope to meet some of you in the Geometry or Speech/Debate program this Fall!
