Margaret Sinnott has been at CDS since 2012. Margaret attended Asheville Country Day school from Pre-K through eighth grade. She is currently teaching in the same classroom in which she attended eighth grade English. She then graduated from the Masters School outside of New York City in 1979. Margaret received her Masters of Arts in teaching at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA, and taught Pre-K for seven years, second and fifth grade in the public school system for four years in Pittsburgh, and taught first grade in an environmental charter school for two years prior to joining the CDS community.

At CDS, we teach our students that we learn from our mistakes. We offer support for understanding to the individual. The student feels safe to ask for support when they don’t understand. Our curriculum, because it is intentionally engaging, creates an environment of curiosity. We let the students become thinkers solving real world problems.
