Richmond Heights Christian School

My name is Mrs. Andrea Akins and I am the Kindergarten teacher at

Richmond Heights Christian School. I am so excited to be back

teaching again full-time at RHCS.

I received my Associate of arts Degree from Lakeland Community

College. I then transferred to Kent State University where I received

my Bachelors of Science in Education. I graduate Cum Laude and

received my certification in elementary education. After graduating

from college I substitute taught for one year in several different

schools. It was a great experience. Then God opened the door for

me at RHCS where I taught for five years. I absolutely loved it! I then

took some time to raise my children. I have two daughters ages 10

and 7. They are my special gifts from God.

During this time I continued to work in the field of education. I

substitute taught, and I also worked at RHCS as their Tutor. I loved

working with small groups of children and helping them in their areas

of difficulty. It was so rewarding to see their growth and progress

during the course of the school year. I also worked at Willo-Hill

Christian School as an Educational Aide in the Four-year old

Kindergarten class. It was a wonderful experience.

My husband, children, and I have been members of Christian

Assembly for many years. I started attending as a teenager! My

father is also a pastor on staff.

I have a heart for teaching and I love children. I enjoy finding fun and

creative ways to teach. Christian school teaching is the most

rewarding of all because we are able to give our children a Biblical

worldview and train them up in the ways of the Lord. Amen!
