Charlotte, N.C. – Charlotte Latin School has named Andria Quintero the next Assistant Head of Lower School. Quintero was previously at The Caedmon School in New York, NY, a Montessori preschool and Montessori-inspired elementary school to grade five, where she was most recently the Director of Student Learning and Support. At The Caedmon School she also held the positions of Director of Elementary, Interim Deputy Head of School and Learning Specialist Coordinator. Prior to The Caedmon School, she taught first and second grade at Saint David's School in New York City.
Mark Tayloe, Charlotte Latin's Head of Lower School, said of Quintero's appointment:
"Andria brings a wealth of experience in school leadership, including personnel management, curriculum development and instructional practices. She is highly relational and connected with everyone she encountered during her visit with us. In addition, she brings energy, joy and a great sense of humor. We are very fortunate to have someone of Andria's caliber join our Lower School."
Quintero's teaching and administrative experience includes creating and providing rigorous, differentiated curriculum using innovative methods of instruction, collaboration with a diverse team of educators to continuously create, implement and refine core curriculum, and designing and implementing guided reading and literacy lessons for first and second grades.

About her career in Education, Quintero said,
"...becoming an educator was a profound and defining moment in my life path. From my early work as a social worker, I had genuine concern for the well-being and intellectual progression of children. The shift to education came naturally. Once I stepped into a classroom, I knew in my heart this was the best place as a career for me to land."
Quintero holds an M.S. in Literacy Education (Language and Literacy Education Birth-6) from Fordham University, New York, NY, and an M.S. in Elementary Education (Curriculum and Teaching Grades 1-6), also from Fordham University.
