Stefanie Allen began teaching at SPA in the Fall of 2008; she enjoys working with each grade and section of students as they change and grow over the years. She feels it is a privilege to work with the unique students who attend our school. She says, “We all learn and enjoy life at SPA together.” Her educational and professional history is listed above; she also took about 13 years at home (between teaching jobs) to raise her son, John (working together with John’s father and her husband, Kevin). John graduated from WWU in June, 2012. He is currently doing graduate study at Trinity Seminary; John married Camila (from Brazil) in July, 2015. Stefanie has been happily married to Bishop Kevin Allen of the Anglican Church in North America (Diocese of Cascadia)—since 1988. Hobbies include: oil painting, traveling, reading and choral singing. Stefanie believes that all students can move forward in their learning, given a school that is both nurturing and challenging.
A favorite saying: “The test and use of a (person’s) education is that one finds pleasure in the exercise of the mind.” ~ Jaques Barzun
