Biography
Mrs. Audrey Rushing grew up in Chile until age 12. After graduating from Covenant College with a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies (Music, Biblical/Theological Studies, and German), her deep interest in languages led her to a job teaching German and Spanish at a Montessori school. Being so curious about how God made languages, she pursued an M.A. in German, focusing on linguistics. She was able to take a graduate level course in Spanish literature from Equatorial Guinea as an elective along the way.
Since she enjoys interacting with people of all ages and cultures, Audrey has appreciated the opportunity to teach languages from toddler to adult. When she first started learning about the Classical Christian model of education from her husband, she was delighted to find how it seeks to set each subject in its historical context as well as to find its focus on grammar and rhetoric when learning a new language. She thoroughly enjoyed teaching Spanish 1 and Spanish A at Scholé Academy, and is excited to teach Spanish 1 again this year. For fun she loves to read, delve into languages, be outside, and consider all things (books, movies, shows, cultures, gardening, cooking etc.) from a biblical perspective; but her favorite thing is to spend time with her husband and their three children.
