Jody Hanson is our history and American government teacher. She is passionate about helping students understand history because it is an opportunity to see how we connect with people throughout time. One of her favorite ways to teach is using food and cultural activities. She loves seeing -and helping students see - the hand of God throughout history. Jody is one of the founders of Gryffin Learning Center. She is a mother of seven and has 17 years of homeschool & microschool teaching experience.
The mythological griffin is half lion (bringing strength and courage) and half eagle (bringing wisdom). We hope for our students to evaluate information with wisdom to find truth … and then to have the courage and strength to live that truth.
We spell it with a y out of respect for Godric Gryffindor 😉
