Lower Elementary North Directress
Carie Modeer
Carie joined the Khalsa School in 1999 as a lower elementary assistant.
After graduating from Penn State University with a degree in Elementary Education and traveling across the country she decided to head west to Arizona. Her immediate family, along with a change of environment, brought her to Phoenix. Outside of gaining her degree in education Carie worked for six years as an assistant teacher in a Christian Daycare in Pennsylvania. She also held part-time positions in childcare throughout her college years. After experiencing Montessori for the first time at Khalsa and gaining a passion for the Montessori method she made the choice to become trained as a Montessori Directress. Five years later she was a fully trained Montessorian eager to put to use the skills obtained during her two years of training at the Center for Montessori Teacher Education.
Carie’s 10th year at Khalsa School brings her to a new level in her educational career. She is very excited to continue as the Directress in Khalsa’s Lower Elementary North classroom. Carie anticipates many wonderful experiences to come.
