My name is Amanda DesJardins, and I am a mom of four girls. I hold a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and Law with a minor in Spanish and a Master’s in Human Resource Management. I have homeschooled my children since they were five, all while working from home as a translator and supporting a translation company.
I am interested in teaching at the new Christian High School because I see it as a wonderful opportunity to shape young minds during one of the most pivotal seasons of their lives. High school is when students begin forming their own views, asking deep things and searching for understanding and making choices that will influence their future. I believe it’s vital for them to be guided by teachers who can help them think critically, stay grounded in faith, and see how God’s truth connects to every part of life.
I would love to teach English, History, or Bible, but my real passion is with History and Bible. I love teaching in ways that are engaging and interactive, where students don’t just memorize facts but understand how the past and God’s Word shape who we are and how we live today.
Litchfield Christian School has been such a beautiful blessing to our family. LCS is a Christ-centered school that challenges students academically, nurtures their creativity, promotes a positive learning environment, and contributes to their spiritual growth. LCS is very supportive, and they encourage their students and their families. Our daughter came into LCS completely broken and empty. Public school had taken a drastic toll on her mental health. She had pleaded with us for over a year to homeschool her. We were at a loss. Our daughter is a very social person, and we knew she needed more. We decided to check out LCS as an alternative. From the very moment we stepped inside LCS, we could see and feel the genuine love. EVERYONE felt as if they belonged. Before our day of observing was over, she had asked if she could please come to LCS. She was smiling and said this place is my kind of place. It's definitely been just that!
Today she is thriving, and she is truly enjoying herself. She loves to go to school, and she loves all of the teachers. She has made good friends and is blossoming in all areas of life. She's even started singing on stage during chapel. This has been the best decision we could have ever made as parents for our daughter. We are incredibly thankful for this opportunity in our hometown, and we truly appreciate that LCS offers grades K-12. How blessed we are to be a part of Litchfield Christian School. We look forward to many more amazing years here.
