One of her favorite quotes is from Rita Pierson:

​

“Every child deserves a champion, an adult who insists they become the best they can possibly be.”

Biography 

April Stoddart grew up in an adventurous family being the 10th of 11 children.  She grew up in Utah and has lived in New York, Oregon and currently North Ogden with her husband and two kids.  

​

April home schooled her two children for 15 years and taught 6 years in a local commonwealth school.  She received her Bachelor's of Science from Weber State University  and is working on her Masters of Education at WGU.  April taught at Maria Montessori and Capstone Classical Academy and is very excited to join the family here at Promontory School of Expeditionary Learning.

​

April loves to travel and learn about the world and cultures and what they have to teach us.  She wants to share that love of learning with her students and feels that Expeditionary Learning gives children the tools to explore the wonders of the world and how we each can make a difference.

​

April says, “The idea of letting the child learn from his/her environment and the tools provided for exploration is key to why Expeditionary Learning resonates with me. I feel that education is more than what you find in books. It is learning to see the world around us, learning from it, and finding our place in it. It’s about learning how we have an affect upon each other as well as our surroundings. I believe that children are born with an innate curiosity and desire to learn. By providing various opportunities to explore the world around them, reading classical, living books and using hands-on tools as way of learning concepts, that innate curiosity and a love of learning is born.“
