Pearl Nanninga's love for children started with growing up in a large family in Kansas. She received her Elementary teaching degree in Nebraska, teaching elementary school in Nebraska, and two years of special education in Ohio.  With the growth of her young family, she homeschooled her five children Kindergarten through 3rd grade.  Those years at home with husband and kids where invaluable and a strong foundation for all of their growth-- through the good and the hard seasons. Her goal is for her students to grow in their desire and love of reading and the lifelong learning reading brings.

Hello! I am Cassie Cini, and I have such a passion for education. I live here in Castle Rock with my husband and four children. I have a Masters in Elementary Education from the University of Colorado, and I have been an elementary school teacher for 10 years! My background is in culturally and linguistically diverse education, and I strive to meet all students where they are, using their strengths to propel and drive their learning. After teaching in the public school setting for 4 years, I stepped away from the classroom to be home with my first born. I kept teaching online and tutoring until Summit Homeschool Academy was created! Being homeschooled myself, I am thrilled to be a part of such an incredible program that fosters academic learning collaboratively at home and at school. 

Hi! My name is Katchen Marlow. I started working in education in 2000. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Child and Adolescent Studies/Development, a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, and a Master of Arts in Cross-Cultural Education. I have taught preschool to sixth grade. I also have experience working with children with learning disabilities and special needs. After becoming a mom I have primarily spent the last twelve years at home with my own three children. Our family relocated from California to Colorado about a year and a half ago. Now that my youngest child is in school, I’m excited to be getting back into education and the classroom. I’m looking forward to helping guide and support you and your child in your homeschool journey and to being a part of Summit Homeschool Academy.
