Summer Israelson
Kindergarten Teacher
Education:
I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication from California Lutheran University in 2003. My early career was spent working in higher education coordinating student programs and events. After having children of my own, I decided that I wanted to transition into teaching. I went on to earn my Master of Arts degree in Elementary Education. I have been teaching for 13 years and kindergarten is my favorite grade. I love to see my students’ smiling faces every day, witness their love for the Lord, and watch them grow academically, socially, and spiritually!

Personal Life:
I have been blessed with two wonderful children; one in middle school and the other in high school! As a family, we enjoy going to the beach, taking weekend trips up or down the coast, swimming in our pool, and watching live music! We live in the beautiful city of Camarillo and attend Calvary Church.

Bible Verse:
Proverbs 3:5–6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.

Kindergarten Program

Teacher(s): Sylvia Law, Annie Stuehrmann, and Summer Israelson

Kindergarten is a very important and exciting time in your child’s formal education. HCS offers a creative approach to an exceptional Kindergarten program. Our program instills the love of learning and rigorous academics and our students have proven to be above national norms.

While our emphasis at HCS will always be on spiritual development and academic excellence, our Kindergarten teachers also work tirelessly on developing your child’s social and emotional intelligence with a focus on conflict resolution and independence.

Some of the activities throughout the year include: Grandparents’ Day,  Christmas Program, Dr. Seuss Day, 100 Days of School Celebration, International Day, and Graduation Ceremony.

Weekly Chapels: Lead worship throughout the year and be matched with a Chapel Buddy from 6th Grade.

Field trips include: Painted Pony Farm, In-school visits from Firefighters, Police, and Paramedics, Plays, and additional trips to be arranged based on availability and subject matter.
