Merit Ibraheem
Art Teacher
Background:
I am a wife and mother of three daughters, two of whom attend American Classical Academy Rutherford. With a dual background in Education and Arts, as well as prior teaching experience in Philosophy and Psychology, I have always been passionate about guiding young minds. Transitioning into the art classroom allows me to combine my love for creative expression with my foundation in teaching. It is a joy to inspire students to explore their artistic talents while fostering an appreciation for beauty, order, and creative thinking.
Why I Love Working at a Hillsdale School:
I love being part of a community that values truth, goodness, and beauty. Teaching art in a classical setting allows me to help students discover how creativity reflects order and excellence, encouraging them to grow both intellectually and virtue-wise.
Favorite Classical Quote:
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” — Pablo Picasso
An American Classical Education
Our curriculum places a strong emphasis on language, content-rich subjects, a solid foundation of core knowledge, and an in-depth exploration of the historical, literary, and scientific legacies of both the United States and Western civilization.
