Sarah Schwab
Sarah grew up in a small town just outside the Chicago suburbs. When she was ten, her family moved to northeast China for a year where her parents taught English. It was that experience that began a lifelong fascination for language and culture. It wasn’t until high school, though, that she had the opportunity to formally study a language. She chose Spanish. She loves that she can speak to so many people in their native language, learn how they see the world, and learn more about herself through knowing another language!
Since moving to Cleveland with her husband and oldest son in 2006 she has had three more sons, finished a Masters degree at CSU, studied for a semester in Spain, and taught in and around Cleveland for 17 school years. She was especially excited to be a part of the founding of Campus International High School in 2017 and now serving part-time as MYP Coordinator in addition to teaching Spanish. She has enjoyed building a new school and learning about IB. She feels strongly that the philosophy of international mindedness, critical thinking, and inquiry are essential parts of any education.
Despite still cheering for the Chicago Cubs, Sarah loves living in Cleveland! It is a city rich in history and culture. She enjoys hiking and biking in the Metroparks and CVNP, exploring museums in University Circle, being a part of the bustle downtown, and learning about the history of the city, especially how various cultural groups have settled and left their mark in the city.
