Jared Ratcliff serves as the Bible teacher at Weimar Academy. A Washington native, he grew up hiking in the Cascades and now enjoys spending time in the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains. Before coming to Weimar, Jared spent three years as a volunteer elementary English teacher in Cambodia, where he developed a passion for helping young people know God through engaging and practical instruction. He recently completed his studies at Weimar University and aims to help students see the beauty, reliability, and daily relevance of Scripture. His desire is that every student would develop a personal relationship with Jesus and embrace Weimar Academy’s mission of Proving God Right by demonstrating God’s character through their lives.
Sylvanna is a Central California native who enjoys taking in the beauty of the state. A Special Education teacher since 1997, Sylvanna has twice retired from teaching, always only to return to education. This time, she has found a way to combine ministry and education through the position of Registrar. Sylvanna is passionate about education, health ministry, and helping people improve their lives mentally, physically, and spiritually. Her favorite quote comes from Ministry of Healing, page 482, "Our heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us of which we know nothing. Those who accept the one principle of making the service of God supreme, will find perplexities vanish and a plain path before their feet."
