"Cambridge and its faculty are very special to me because they instilled in my son (Jesse Bates) a love of learning that will remain with him for a lifetime."

Angela Butler

Director of College Placement / Registrar

M.A., University of Memphis
B.A., University of Tennessee

"It is my privilege to work with students to help them find the right fit in a college. I believe preparation for the college search should begin early and the investigative approach I use with the 9th and 10th grade students allows them to walk through the college application process without anxiety and full of excitement when they are finally seniors. Some find out they prefer the opportunities found in a large university like Texas A&M and some prefer the intimate classes found in a small liberal arts college like Furman. Through the four year process they find more about who they are and what they are looking for in their post secondary education."

Soo Chang

Director of Admissions

M.Div., Talbot School of Theology
B.S., University of Southern California
Subjects: Old Testament Survey, New Testament Survey, Systematic Theology

"I am passionate about teaching Theology at the Cambridge School of Dallas because Scripture is powerfully transformational in its ability to shape and mold the faith, character, value, and worldview of our students, including my own."

Subjects: Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry

"I count it a privilege to be at CSD. The students are academically motivated and eager to do well. The class size allows me to have a more personal relationship with each student and to give more one-on-one help in Math. Most of all, I love relating to the students on an eternal level; not in just my subject matter, but also in their personal lives. God is seen everywhere in Math and that lets me see Him everywhere in their lives."

Rebekah Duplisea

B.S., Philadelphia Biblical University
Subjects: 7th-9th Grade English

"I do not think any student I have taught could question my love of literature, writing, or even grammar, and yet teaching English is not my primary joy as a Cambridge faculty member; rather, I garner the most delight from the students. Simply put, I love them. I love their intellectual curiosity, their spiritual sensitivity, and their sense of humor; I love them so much that I miss them over the weekends. Not many teachers can say that."

Daniel Faubus

B.A. Classical Studies, Luther College, Iowa
Subjects: Latin, 9th Grade History

"Teaching at Cambridge gives me the unique opportunity to bring the wisdom of the ancient world to young minds who are eager to receive it."

Bobby Goodrich

M.A., Westminister Seminary
B.A., Baylor University
Subjects: History, Church History

"I love teaching History because it offers me the opportunity to introduce students to a wide array of thoughts and ideas they may have never before considered. I love teaching specifically at Cambridge because they are concerned that students develop not only the ability to retain dates and important names but also an appreciation for the intricate web of cause-and-effect relationships of which they are a part."

Michael Haberkorn

B.A., Kansas State University
Subjects: Chemistry, 8th Grade Physical Science

"I absolutely love taking such a wonderful and enlightening subject such as chemistry and opening its mysteries to young minds."

"I am privileged to be able to integrate my faith in the Lord and belief in the inspiration of the Scriptures with the teaching of physics and the study of God’s good creation. As a Cambridge faculty member I strive to integrate the unity of truth between many disciplines as well cultivating students’ appreciation of God’s sovereign control over this world, to the end that they may joyfully worship and serve their God and Creator."

"The years of academic development are often the times of most significant spiritual development in a student’s life as well. Cambridge allows me the opportunity to make an impact on both a scholarly and spiritual level and to model to students that the two are not mutually exclusive."

Laine Ray Koons

B.A. History, University of North Texas
Subjects: History

"I want students to know the truth about history and not what is politically correct. Students need to know history – the good, the bad, and the ugly—so that they can become future leaders who know the lessons history teaches. 'To not know one’s history is to remain a child forever' (attributed to Cicero)."

Robert Sloan Lee

"I have been blessed to see my students at Cambridge grow in their love and appreciation for the arts and to witness their personal growth as young artists.

Mariel Mueller

"I love teaching at Cambridge because year after year I see the promise of a Classical education realized in our graduates as they successfully engage in the larger world as positive agents of change.  I love working with an outstanding faculty and teaching bright students who are willing to endure the pain that always accompanies a quality education."

Rebeca Myers

B.A. English, Baylor University
Subjects: 10th Grade English, Drama 

"I am proud to say that after nine years of teaching in Classical schools, I can surely see the fruit of such an undertaking in the lives of the students who have passed in and out of my classroom. Combined with a love for Christ, there is no other weapon more powerful to send out into the world."

Olivier Pelletier

B.A., University of Dallas
Subjects: French

"As an admirer of Greek and Latin and a teacher of French, I love to study the major works of Western culture. Christ, along with Thucydides, Catullus, and Camus, will forever remain relevant to understanding our human condition. For this reason I am delighted to be with the faculty, administration, and students of the Cambridge School of Dallas, where the Christian faith and a classical education are so highly prized."

"In Cambridge, I have found the rare Christian organization that gracefully maintains the dynamic tension between faith and learning, keeping the highest things in view even while recalling that its mission is to be carried out in this world. What better place to introduce students to my discipline, political philosophy? "

"The greatest satisfactions I’ve enjoyed while teaching at Cambridge arise from the innumerable moments of shared insights I’ve had with students while reading some of the greatest poems and stories in the Western tradition.  The wisdom contained in these works  is never exhausted and never boring."

Jeremy Straus

"It doesn't matter if a person is two, or sixteen years old, I enjoy teaching them new words, and then watch them communicate with people they previously could not."

"The joy that I find in teaching students about Biology is rooted in the attributes of our Lord that are revealed in His creation. In class, I strive to never become weighted down by details, but to remind my students that even in the detailed study of the cell and its processes, we see God's order, beauty, design, majesty, care, and power."
