Teachers Bio

Jennifer Kirchner is the seventh-grade homeroom teacher. She teaches sixth through eighth-grade science and seventh-grade religion.

She has five years of teaching experience with St. Francis de Sales School. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in exercise science and a Master’s degree in Applied Health Physiology.

Ms. Kirchner’s teaching philosophy keeps students engaged with learning new subjects. Her classroom mission is to encourage independent thinking and cooperative group learning. She personalizes learning using a variety of tools to help students achieve success. This includes helping students to create their own science notebooks, which helps them to organize their thoughts and reflect on previous concepts throughout the year.

Focused on dynamic learning, she follows the hands-on learning in the lab with discussions and encourages them to test their ideas by creating their own experiments weekly and then problem-solving within their groups.
