Miss Price
Miss Price grew up in the green mountains of Vermont, where she learned to love maple syrup and the natural world. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in philosophy and English literature at Messiah College and read Plato’s Republic as a visiting student at the University of Oxford.
In 2014, Miss Price encountered classical education for the first time. She spent the next three years working for Classical Academic Press before becoming a teacher at Veritas School in Richmond, Virginia.
Miss Price has taught across many disciplines in grades 5-12, with a focus on literature, poetry, and writing instruction. Her favorite teaching accomplishments include reading Homer and Tolkien with middle schoolers and teaching Hopkins to poetry skeptics of all ages.
While teaching, Miss Price earned a Master’s degree in Liberal Arts from St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland, where she discovered she loves Euclid and Lobachevsky nearly as much as she loves Shakespeare and Dostoyevsky.
Miss Price came to Ridgeview in 2025, lured to Colorado by family, friends, and the promise of sunshine. She spends her weekdays teaching literature and composition and her weekends finding alpine lakes.
