Our Teachers

MSON teachers are grounded in independent school education and share a commitment to excellence, small class sizes, and personal relationships. They are experts in their fields, and many have taught at the college level. Teachers are invited to develop MSON courses through a selective process. They prepare their courses throughout the spring and summer with support from the Dean of Instruction and attend a multi-day training at the MSON Annual Workshop.

I’m grateful to have had class with students from around the country to help better see why people view diversity the way they do and a teacher to help guide us through.
