About Me

My name is Alexandra Schwarz and this is my first year teaching at St. Jude's Academy.

I went to York University and received my Bachelor of Arts with a focus on Religious Studies. Once I completed my 4 years at York, I completed my Bachelor of Professional Studies (also known as my Bachelor of Education) at Niagara University. Last year, I taught math to grades 3 to 7 incorporating technology, discussions and use of math manipulatives in my lessons.

On my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym, reading, watching movies, being outdoors and spending time with my family and friends. I have a dog named Mia and a cat named Molly who are the best of friends, and mean the world to me!
