Jennifer Taylor has been the teacher of the Junior 1 class at Venta since 2005.  Her background in teaching is quite varied, as she did her teacher training at the University of Newcastle in NSW, Australia.  Upon graduating, she spent three years teaching at Westboro Academy in Ottawa, then moved to England to be closer to her boyfriend, now fiancé, Stian.  In England, Jennifer taught the Year 1 class at Herringham Primary school where she not only taught, but also assisted the faculty in developing the primary programs for the school.

Jennifer loves teaching J1 at Venta.  Her creative and dynamic personality allow her to engage the very youngest students as they acquire the skills necessary for a successful academic career.  She believes that before becoming successful learners, students must have a fun, structured, and comfortable environment, and she is very pleased to be able to provide this for her class.

As well as teaching, Jennifer enjoys participating in other activities at the school.  She, along with another member of the staff, took some of the senior students on a trip around Italy during the March break and each February, she enjoys participating in the school’s ski trip.   She is also a co-leader of Arthur House and for what she lacks in athletic skill, she makes up for with enthusiasm and effort.
