Favorite verse: …We will tell the next generation, the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done. Psalm 78:4

Education Background:  I received my undergraduate degree from Dordt University with a BA in Education.  I went on to complete my Master's Degree at California State San Marcos in school administration. I am a Van Lunen Fellow of Calvin University, cohort of 2020.

Educational Experience:  I taught elementary and middle school for 17 years. I served as elementary principal, admissions director, and assistant superintendent at Lake Worth Christian School in Florida and as Head of School at Bradenton Christian School in Florida. I served as president of Christian Schools of Florida for 7 years.

All About Me: I am passionate about making a positive impact on Christian education by serving in schools that teach truth about God, his world, and his word, the Bible.  My wife Amy and I have been married since 1993 and we have four grown children. We enjoy church, travel, beach biking, college football, and spending time with family.
Merry Christmas from the Vande Pol family!
