Robin Albertson-Wren is a Responsive Classroom teacher trainer and certified mindfulness instructor who teaches every morning in the Pre-School and works with our athletics teams, SAS program, Residential Life Program, and Life Skills classes. She is also an author, public speaker, workshop leader, and conference presenter for local, state, and national groups, including VAIS, NAIS, VAECE, and VBIDA. Her teaching philosophy is to create a community of learners who support, challenge, and care for another in an environment that is full of wonder, creativity, and joy. Robin’s favorite School tradition is the sign language used during the School song, Raise We Our Voices, because it connects everyone non-verbally and our senior “sandbox kids” remember it fondly.

Why St. Anne's-Belfield?
The St. Anne’s community is a lovely place to work as a teacher, raise your kids as a parent, and find support as a friend. Teachers are supported and encouraged to stretch by engaging in professional development, are challenged by the wealth of knowledge of their colleagues, and are energized by their students. As a teacher, this is an incredibly rewarding place to work.

I love being able to help students find their confidence in mathematics. At St. Anne’s, we believe all students are capable of being great mathematicians. When students are able to make this mind shift, they can accomplish incredible things in the math classroom and beyond!

Why St. Anne's-Belfield?
There is an evident eagerness from everyone around to do their very best and to give their all to support students. There is also a demonstrated sense of community that is continually being developed through deliberate activities and events.

What I like most about my job is that I get to work with everyone in the Lower School. This allows me more opportunities to not only contribute what I know but also to learn from those around me. Everyone has something that I can learn and my job allows me to get close to many people. As we all learn from each other, we can then make contributions for the greater benefit of our School and the larger community.

Why St. Anne's-Belfield?
I am proud to be part of St. Anne’s-Belfield School and the School’s commitment to developing compassionate citizens and visionary leaders. I feel so thankful to be part of this kind, friendly and vibrant educational community.

I believe that I am helping our students to have meaningful opportunities each and every day to help them learn to regulate their emotions, develop their sense of empathy and compassion, and solve problems productively. I have a Masters of Art in Creative Arts Therapy and have worked as a Museum Educator in New York and Virginia. I like to enrich our students learning through hands-on projects to enhance their scholastic experience.

A great school in a great environment. I love the relationships that I am able to form with my colleagues and students alike. It is a nurturing environment that seeks to include all students.

I love coming to school each day. I love coaching in the fall. I love watching winter sports and seeing winter musicals. I love the classroom. I like doing something different during intensives. Doug's Trip is a profound experience.

Why St. Anne's-Belfield?
I love the traditions new and old, my favorite School tradition was started by my husband and School Cross Country Coach Andy Beardsley, who gets kids excited to be part of a team with a MUD RUN, an event in which his runners coat themselves in mud, grab sticks, and run through the streets of town.
