Mrs. Johnson
 B.A. Liberal Arts/Education, Bay Path College
Susan Johnson was the neighborhood kid who forever wanted to play school and forever vied for the role of teacher. Now that her fantasy has become a career, she inspires in her own students the dream of someday teaching.
Ms. McNierney
 B.S. Recreation and Leisure Studies, SUNY Cortland
In her 20th year of early childhood education, Gwen McNierney comes across as—and is—a pro. Her classroom crackles with intellectual energy and hums with warmth and civility.

Seekers, Academy Hill’s first and second grade students share two homerooms. In these two years, students undergo dramatic transformations in their reading and writing ability and develop a comfort with basic research and investigative thinking. They develop personal interests in content areas such as social studies and science. Our Seekers also cultivate a stronger self-identity and a deeper capacity to support one another. Our class size and structure allows for the individual or very small groups to work directly with the teacher while others may be developing some skills on their own.
