Chris Bottomley

Hello, families! My name is Chris Bottomley and I'm very excited to meet the community. I’ve been an educator for 20 years, working mostly as a writing teacher in independent schools, but also across a wide range of subjects, grades, and levels. I look forward to meeting the learners and exploring the diverse opportunities we have to read the world around us, and how to incorporate core academics as a part of the process to understand it.
