Introducing Mr. Jackson Ridder

Jackson Ridder has lived in the Midwest his whole life, traveling from Indiana to Illinois, and Illinois to Iowa. Throughout Elementary school, and High School he attended a Christian school in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He studied Elementary Education with endorsements in Reading and Social Studies at Iowa State University. He loves getting to see students learn and grow in the classroom, and he treasures the “Aha!” moments when things finally start to click in a student’s brain.

“I am excited to have the privilege of teaching at Heritage Christian School! I believe that teaching is one of the vital tools we can use to be Biblical stewards of this beautiful universe we have been created in. I am excited to be able to teach through a Biblical foundation and to provide students with the knowledge and tools they need to grow closer to their Creator. Education allows us to learn more about his wonderful creation, and how it has been intricately pieced together. Knowledge is a gift from God that allows us to draw ever closer to being like him.”
