Nora Jersild

I am a graduate of the University of Louisville, with a degree in Early Elementary Education. In addition to my schooling, I spend my summers working at an overnight summer camp in the Northeast. These experiences have guided me into a love for educating children in an outdoor environment. While student teaching, I heard about Chance School and immediately knew it aligned with my philosophy, which developed throughout my experiences working with children. 

I have chosen to teach at a progressive school because I believe in providing children with experiential learning opportunities. The Chance School is equipped with a wonderful environment for children to explore and develop their understanding of the world around them through the action of doing. This school year, I am excited to connect your children with nature and give them valuable, hands-on learning experiences that instill curiosity and wonder. I will guide and support them through their personal and educational growth journeys by creating a safe and welcoming environment. Each year, I look forward to joining a wonderful group of teachers and making connections with the Chance students and their families.

At home, I love to be outside, hiking, reading, painting, and exploring new places around the city.
