Our John Adams Academy volunteers are the engine that keep our school running! From planning, to handing out brochures, to setting up and cleaning up after events, they are always willing to lend a hand. We’re so grateful for all their hard work!
Mr. Green comes to JAA from Ricks Center for Gifted Children, where he currently teaches Advanced Math in Grades 6-8; and from Golden View Classical Academy, where he both taught in the Algebra sequence in the Upper School, and founded, coached, and taught discrete math to the middle school and high school math teams. He currently leads a grammar school and upper school competition math prep class for PlusMath at the Colorado School of Mines, and teaches and tutors in private practice, with students ranging from 4th grade to Calculus.
Before becoming a teacher, Mr. Green worked in venture capital, investing in chemicals, energy, and materials companies; and worked in engineering and business development at Dow Chemical, Corning, and Arthur D. Little. He holds a BS in Chemical Engineering from MIT, and an MBA with Distinction from Harvard Business School.
Mr. Green is passionate about classical education, and has two daughters who were classically-educated. In his spare time, he can be found doing recreational math and hanging out with his Bernese Mountain Dog.
This is an on-demand shop, which means items are printed as orders come in, and are shipped directly to you, so you can order any time and have fresh gear made just for you.
Even better: Ten percent of every purchase comes back to support John Adams Academy athletic programs.
Thanks for supporting our students, teams, and school community! We are really excited to open this fall.
