Jade Balfe

Hi! My name is Jade Balfe, and I have been teaching a variety of grade levels for the past five years. I earned my B.A. in Child Study from St. Joseph’s College and my M.A. in English from Southern New Hampshire University. I hold certifications in both general and special education from birth through sixth grade.

I have a passion for teaching and strive to create a classroom where students grow not only academically but also in their faith. My goal is to support students and their families while encouraging lifelong learning and spiritual development. Outside the classroom, I enjoy playing guitar and singing with my church band every Sunday, spending time with family and friends, and curling up with a good book. I also love staying active through walking and running, and I enjoy exploring new hobbies that keep me learning alongside my students. I am truly grateful to be part of the OSNAS family and excited to see all that God will do this year.
