Matthew Ferry

Education: The George Washington University, Bachelor of Science; Boston College Donovan Urban Teaching Scholars, Master of Education

 

Previous work experience: Before coming to Prospect Hill Academy, Mr. Ferry built exhibitions at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, studied ancient DNA as a laboratory technician at Harvard Medical School, and taught biology and physics for 2 years in Boston.

 

Hobbies and interests: When Mr. Ferry is not teaching, he loves crafting handmade pizza, growing plants and herbs in his small garden, reading, and gaming online with his friends.

 

Why did you choose to work at Prospect Hill Academy?: "My mission as an educator is for my students to leave our classroom with the skills they need to interpret and be critical of the science they encounter in the world around them. I was drawn to PHA's commitment toward social justice, collaboration, and inquiry as these values are imperative to delivering an equitable science education to all learners."
