Biography

Victoria first joined The Hockessin Montessori School in 2008 in a teaching position as an Upper Elementary Teacher and took on her current position as Director of Admissions in 2015. Throughout her career, Victoria has instructed children of various ages in different learning environments and adults through parent and teacher education programs. In addition to teaching graduate courses for Wilmington University and Loyola University Maryland, Victoria serves on the Advisory Board for Loyola University of Maryland's School of Education and the Advisory Board for Loyola University's Center for Montessori Education, a Montessori Graduate program. Victoria considers the Montessori classroom the ideal learning environment and finds its inclusive nature, a characteristic of Dr. Montessori’s approach for over one hundred years, a model for all learning environments.

Victoria is also a mother of two. Her children also attend The Hockessin Montessori School, as they have since they were one year old. Experiencing the Montessori Method as a parent has only deepened Victoria’s appreciation for this incredible approach to Education!

Meet Our Community

Pursuing Justice, Together

When students enroll in the undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs at Loyola’s School of Education, they are welcomed into a vibrant and diverse community of faculty, staff, students, and alumni who are engaged in ensuring an inclusive educational system that actualizes social justice.

Alumni

Tori Kovelman

“Loyola’s core values—educating the whole person, service, leadership, justice, integrity, diversity (just to name a few!)—have allowed me to create purpose and meaning in my life. I was able to take profound personal self-inventory to become clear on where I was stuck and how to move forward with confidence, compassion, and creativity.”

Students

Mia

“I wanted a college experience that would prepare me for a career in education and a place that made me feel at home. Loyola provided both... and so much more. ”

Students

Ian

“Being a teacher goes hand in hand with the Jesuit ideal of being a person for others. Teachers work in a service, care-based industry that helps others grow at the most malleable point in their lives. ”

Alumni

William Heiser

“My Jesuit experience as a student and later as an administrator at Loyola taught me the importance of service for others. I’ve spent my entire career working in education, with the mission of giving back to students what Loyola gave me—an opportunity to become something more.”
