Zachary Mearse

Academics Lead

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago where I attended a classical Christian school from K-12. I then got my bachelor’s degree in biology from Oklahoma Christian University. I also completed one year of a PhD program in biomedical sciences at OUHSC before coming to work at St. Joe’s. Having witnessed the differences between a normal public-school education and a classical education when I went to college, I have come to believe that a classical education sets up children in the best possible way to be free-thinking, God-serving, lifelong learners. It is my hope that I can help the St. Joe’s children have access to this kind of education while also meeting each individual where they are at.
