Faculty Directory

At the heart of every great teacher
is a curious learner.

Upland Country Day School teachers are skilled educators, experts in community building and scholars of child development. Our teachers know it is more important to pose good questions than to offer answers to which a student feels no connection. The right question will spawn ideas and experiments, as well as research and conclusions. The right question will set the group on a journey that will lead deep into their subject of study.
