VICE PRINCIPAL / 4TH GRADE TEACHER / LANGUAGE ARTS AND SOCIAL STUDIES

Karen Yurman

I was delighted to join the Cedar Hill Prep Community in 2012 as the fourth grade teacher of Social Studies and Language Arts. My career as an elementary school teacher began in New York City, after which I served as an administrator and fourth grade teacher at an independent school in Monmouth County.

My educational background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with a specialization in Social Studies and a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education. I have dual teaching certifications in New York State and New Jersey.

Teaching is inspirational! As an educator, I am incredibly fortunate to have an opportunity to create an environment in which students are motivated to tap into their creativity and curiosity; where they can develop the confidence needed to welcome new challenges that will further expand their learning; where they respect that each person’s voice is important; and where they can begin to appreciate the value of becoming productive and contributing members of their communities.

As an administrator, it is a privilege to work within a collaborative environment of wonderfully talented educators who are dedicated to ensuring that our students receive a “blue ribbon” education and the values that are commensurate with that.
