Arlene O., BEd '01

I absolutely loved my time at Althouse College! Upon graduating, I worked for the Thames Valley District School Board as a junior grade teacher before leaving Ontario as a result of numerous corporate transfers. I now have certification with the Illinois State Department of Education and the Florida Board of Education.  

My teacher training at Althouse has provided me with an exceptional world renowned education and expertise that allows me to make a full investment into the next generation! I will always be proud of Western's Faculty of Education!

John S., BEd '94

“I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Faculty of Education (Althouse College), the broader Western community, and the neighbourhoods along the Thames River and throughout the city of London, Ontario.

From the introduction of the Common Curriculum to the recent revisions of the Ontario Curriculum, I thank the St. George's and Princess Elizabeth Public School communities for welcoming me as a young teacher candidate.  These experiences have translated into a productive career as a Peel District School Board educator for more than 25 years.”
