Cailyn is married to Nathan and mother to three Cor Deo Students: Jane, Jensen, and Greyson. She carries a deep passion for truth, virtue, and for God to receive the glory! Classical Christian education was the discovery she didn’t know her family needed, but was the answer to their prayers. As she has seen her children thrive in and be transformed by this powerful model of education, it has become a passion of her own. Cailyn’s heart is that every family who longs for this for their child, could one day have access to it. In addition to a conviction to do what is right, uncompromising principles, hard-work, and dedication, Cailyn brings a practical parental view, discernment, a heart of faith, and an active prayer life to the School Board. Her organizational and administrative strengths, gained through helping her husband run their small business for 15+ years, will serve Cor Deo well. When she is not training up her children in the way they should go or being humored by her husband, you might find Cailyn running early in the morning, baking, reading, gardening, or you may bump into her camping with her family at a National Park!
