The Gilbertine Institute is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Siebert to its faculty.  Andrew began his journey to Catholicism through the Anglican Church and is eager to continue exploring Truth, Goodness, and Beauty with the students of The Gilbertine Academy. As an interdisciplinary adventurer, Andrew has greatly enjoyed connecting history, philosophy, and literature in his classes as a teacher in the Republic of Georgia - the land of Prometheus and Jason's Golden Fleece.  Along with teaching AP courses, Literature, and coaching debate, he has spent the last six years discovering medieval castles and archaeological sites with his four homeschooling children.  Andrew loves the outdoors, discussions about the history of ideas, and writing.  His wife Rachel is an avid lover of medieval history, and together they are excited to begin participating in Mass at St. John the Evangelist Parish and celebrating feast days with friends. 

At the Gilbertine Academy Andrew will be teaching English and leading socratic seminars in history and philosophy to high school students, with parent and faculty participation.  Andrew will also be directing all English and Social Studies course challenges for students of WISDOM Home Schooling.
