Mrs. Erika El Ansary

B.S. in Biopsychology, University of California, Santa Barbara. Served in Residential Life at UC Santa Barbara (2004-2009). Joined Donum Dei Classical Academy in 2023.

I invited Jesus into my heart when I was five years old, and since then the Lord has faithfully continued drawing me closer to Him. As a follower of Christ, I depend on Him daily and believe that everything good, true, and beautiful is a gift from God. That conviction shapes my teaching as I help students see every subject pointing to our Creator, beginning each day in God's Word and prayer. My family has been praying for Donum Dei since before it opened in 2019, and joining this community has truly been a gift from God. I am grateful to invest in a school that values discipleship, academic excellence, and Christ-centered formation. Outside the classroom, I enjoy traveling, exploring San Francisco with my family, biking, reading, and working on puzzles.

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances." - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
