Andrea Sylve has taught in both public and private schools and was delighted to join CPC in 2014. She has a Master’s Degree in Education and holds the firm belief that learning best takes place when the environment is fun and engaging. Science and history are two subjects near to her heart. She says, “God reveals so much of Himself through the field of science. As we study His creation, we can deepen our understanding of our Creator. Also, the history of mankind has God’s fingerprints all over it. He loves people, and people are made to worship Him. History reveals patterns of this relationship.” Mrs. Sylve is an active member of Grace Community Bible Church in Richmond and the mother of two homeschooled children.
