Speaker
Amanda Patchin is an instructor at the Ambrose School, where she teaches medieval history, literature, and philosophy to high school juniors . She is in her seventh year as a classical educator and has taught both at the grammar and rhetoric level. For the last five years she has traveled each summer to Rwanda to teach classical Christian educational principles to Rwandan teachers at a rural school. She reads a bit more than average and loves nothing more than conversation about a good book . Her love of the written word occasionally produces a poem or an article and her love of food often produces dinner.
