GENESIS ACADEMY

In September 2006, Mrs. Melody Hanna took a leap of courage and faith and became founding Principal of Genesis Academy, her own school. Of course, this was a logical outgrowth of a life of service in the field of education, marked by solid preparation in academia and experiences both varied and relevant religiously and socially.

To make that launching step Mrs. Hanna consulted with others for the articulation of the philosophical and pedagogical ideas she recognized to be fundamentally important to guide her for strategic action. Reading those statements of her understanding of her undertaking is instructive to educators of vast experience in the field.

Mrs. Hanna is a graduate of Aquinas College where she completed her high school diploma. For thirty-five (35) years she prepared herself for being a pioneer educator. Mrs. Hanna studied in Illinois, USA for the Illinois Teaching Certificate and baccalaureate degree in Illinois, USA, and earned her postgraduate degree in Education in Curriculum and Instruction and Learning and Technology from the University of St. Thomas, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Bahamas Cohort graduating with highest honors.
