Allen Academy's faculty invests itself on campus and in its students. With a student/faculty ratio of 10:1 in the Lower School and 14:1 in the Upper School, the school offers students individual attention. Smaller class sizes and an open atmosphere facilitate lively discussions and friendly competition as teachers bring their personal styles to the classroom.

Teachers pride themselves on knowing their students and providing a top-notch education to every student who walks into their classroom. More about our administration and faculty:
