Hi, my name is Darren McNeil and I am very excited to be joining the Vista Virtual School teaching team as an elementary/junior high teacher!
I obtained my education degree from the University of Alberta and have been teaching for 11 years. This includes a few years working as a substitute, teaching French Immersion Kindergarten, teaching math and science in a residential behaviour program, and teaching regular grade 5.
Through all of this it became clear to me that every student wants to do their best and will if they feel respected and trust the people supporting them.
I have a wife and two daughters, and I thoroughly enjoys spending time with them. I also enjoy running, playing video games, woodworking, reading, playing board games, watching TV and movies, and hanging out with friends and family. I have a good sense of humor and I like to keep the people around me entertained.
I am really looking forward to getting to know my students and the rest of the staff at Vista Virtual School.
