Beth Thetford Crossmon is from Winston-Salem. She attended Appalachian State University where she received her B.S. degree in Health Psychology.
She was a stay-at-home mom for 15 years and homeschooled her 3 boys (now grown) for 17 years.
She worked for:
-
Samaritan’s Purse
-
Rite Aid and CVS as a registered pharmacy technician,
-
Davidson College as the Finance and Office Manager in Alumni Relations,
-
Patrick Henry College where she currently travels NC, SC, AL, and GA as a recruiter for the Office of Admissions.
But, she will tell you that her most fulfilling and significant line of work and ministry, were the years she spent as a stay-at-home-mom and homeschooling.
As an educator, she
-
has been an educational nanny and tutor.
-
owned and managed Fountain Book Shoppe, selling biographies and classic literature that inspire integrity in readers.
-
trained hundreds of teachers and parents at her personally designed workshops in phonics and literature that serve to make this generation of children lovers of good books for a lifetime.
-
taught high school literature and humanities courses, blending history, literature and art history for specific time periods.
-
continues to teach classes through her business, A Simple Path and Pathway Christian Cooperative.
Beth has a heart for students struggling academically and has developed a special interest in neural psychology and particularly how neural processes affect learning and healthy habit formation.
She has a passion for instilling a love of learning and excellence in her students, and most importantly inspiring them to increasing maturity and faithfulness to Christ.
​
She loves providing classes that are rich in wisdom, doctrinally sound, academically challenging, and encourage family discussion and unity.
​
Her goal in teaching composition is to give her students command of the English language so they can be bright orators and prolific writers who will reach their own generation for Christ and be grandly successful at the plans and purposes to which God has called them.
Her goal as a literature teacher is to aid her students in seeing God’s hand throughout history, through the lens of the literature of the day. In doing so, they too can be like the sons of Issachar in 1 Chronicles 12:32, who can understand the times in which they live to have greater insight into the unfolding dramas of future events.
