Robin Moses

Visual Arts Teacher

Florida International University - BA

Bio
Robin Moses, a Florida native, fell in love with life in the mountains at a young age while on family vacations to the West. Having parents who were collectors of Native American art and contemporary art enthusiasts, Robin's trips often included visiting various art venues. These early experiences helped cultivate in Robin a passion for creative endeavors and living life outside.

Robin graduated Magna Cum Laude from Florida International University, where she earned a BA with a double major in Art History and Fine Art. She has been teaching art to elementary students in private schools in Miami since 2008, including Temple Beth Am Day School, Killian Oaks Academy, and most recently The Mandelstam School in South Miami.

Robin is passionate about inspiring young people to develop their inner artists in a safe and nurturing environment, and her teaching emphasizes interdisciplinary connections to bring art to life for her students and to nurture their individual creativity. She believes that creativity should be at the core of all that we do. Robin is also a practicing artist who has her own line of fine jewelry and loves to play with clay in her free time. Robin loves the outdoors, snowboarding, long hikes, and enjoys lying in a hammock with her husband and two pugs. Robin is thrilled to have the chance to pursue her professional career in an environment that matches her passion for life in the mountains.

Julia Callo

Kindergarten Teacher

Manhattanville College - MA
Manhattanville College - BA

Bio
Julia was born and raised in Manchester, VT where her love for winter and the outdoors began. A graduate of the Long Trail School in Dorset, VT, where her mom has worked since her birth, instilled in Julia a strong belief in what an independent school education could provide. She formed a love and passion for a well-balanced education that includes academics, athletics and the arts. After high school, she attended Manhattanville College in Westchester County, New York where she majored in Sociology and History. Julia also participated in their five-year master’s program and received her degree in Early Childhood Education. During her graduate work, she worked and gained valuable experience at the Purchase Children’s Center, a private preschool in Purchase, NY.

After completing her master’s degree, she wanted to find a welcoming mountain community that she could call home. Julia is very happy to join the close-knit PCDS community. She hopes that every child has the chance to become a “renaissance” student by being exposed to all aspects of learning. In her free time, you will find Julia on the mountain skiing. In the other seasons, she enjoys golfing, baking and cooking, traveling and spending time with family in Vermont and Ocean City, NJ.

Middlebury College - BA

Bio
Ramsay Hill grew up on Lake Winnipesaukee in Gilford, New Hampshire. She attended a boarding school in Holderness, New Hampshire where her love for the outdoors, athletics, academics and the arts flourished. After high school she attended Middlebury College in Vermont where she majored in environmental studies and literature and minored in studio art. Ramsay was a four-year member of the varsity alpine ski team.

Upon graduation Ramsay decided to look west and moved to Aspen, Colorado to coach for their ski team. She coached for two years before realizing that children and education were absolutely her passion and she began teaching at the Aspen Country Day School. She spent two years as a co-teacher in 4th and 5th grade and two years with the 3rd grade.

In 2013 Ramsay graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education with a Master’s degree in Human Development and Psychology. Once again, she looked west and made the move to Park City where her boyfriend was working hard towards becoming a member of the 2014 Olympic Ski team (a goal he succeeded in achieving!).

Ramsay loves being a part of the community that Park City Day School provides. She believes in educating the whole-child: student, athlete, artist, and citizen. When she isn’t in the classroom you can find her in the outdoors skiing, fishing, biking, running, camping or reading.

Robin McGinn

Director of Curriculum and Instruction | Middle School Science Teacher

Colorado State University - PhD
Albertson College of Idaho - BS

Bio
Robin was born and raised in Sacramento, California. An avid reader and nature lover, she spent most of her suburban childhood up a tree reading a book. Fascinated by the interconnectedness and diversity of life on our Earth and eager to help preserve them, Robin pursued a M.S. in Biology at the College of Idaho, followed by a Ph.D. in Ecology at Colorado State University. In one of those interesting quirks of fate, she was offered a job teaching middle school shortly after defending her dissertation. On her first day, Robin discovered she had found her true calling. Middle school students are much more fun and interesting to teach than college students! She has been at the middle school level ever since, teaching English, Environmental Education, Science, and Social Studies to fifth through eighth graders and loving every moment of her job. Robin brings her passion for experiential learning, place-based education, and sustainability practices to Park City Day School as a Middle School Science teacher and advisor.
