Joanna Vilensky

Joanna received a Bachelor of Arts from Kenyon College, a Master of Arts from The University of Chicago’s Divinity School, and a Master of Science in Education from Northwestern University. She has lived all over the country, from California to Pennsylvania, racking up teaching licenses in four states, but was happy to return to her hometown of Columbus. She loves encouraging kids to think deeply about the world and ask as many questions as possible. Joanna also loves teaching because it allows her to be a lifelong learner and believes she learns the most from her students. The warmth of CJDS and the holistic approach to education impresses her and is aligned with her own philosophy and values. Outside of school, you can see Joanna with her head in a book, playing guitar, crocheting, working out, and hanging out with her husband and two kids.
