Mrs. Kristina Wright - Directress

I have been teaching at Northstar Montessori School since the year 2000 and continue to value each new experience and challenge as they arise. I am also the Elementary Supervisor and I am privileged to be surrounded by such a supportive and compassionate team here at Northstar.

My credentials include a B.A. in Psychology from Carleton University. Upon graduation I taught overseas in South Korea for three years, where I was introduced to the Montessori philosophy through the families that I taught. Upon returning to Canada, I attended Toronto Montessori Institute and graduated with my Casa Teaching Diploma, as well as my Lower and Upper Elementary Teaching Diploma.

I taught for nine years in a Lower Elementary classroom at Northstar, before an opportunity to further my education and challenge myself presented itself when Northstar opened its Junior High Program. I attended the A.M.I. Montessori Orientation to Adolescent Studies in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2009, and thus began my career teaching the Junior High program at Northstar.

I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to touch the lives of so many students here. A career as a teacher is often demanding and challenging, but is also the most rewarding career that you could ask for. My two children also attend Northstar and are lucky to be inspired and motivated by some of the best teachers that I could imagine.
