Hello, my name is Andria Hejl, though my students know me as 'Ms. Andria,' and I have been teaching in Montessori schools since 2012. I love reading, gardening, and walking on the beach or on mountain trails with my husband and two children. I also hold a special place in my heart for sea turtles after spending a few seasons volunteering for a local sea turtle group while living in Pawleys Island. I enjoy seeing the faces of my students as they make connections in the classroom and I learn new things right along with them thanks to their varied points of view. There is always something exciting happening in a Montessori classroom!
