Arts Graduate - York University
Diploma in Early Childhood Education - Seneca College
M.Ed. Primary - D'Youville College
Kim has lived in Woodstock since 2007 and grew up in Unionville, ON, where she competed nationally as a synchronized swimmer. An arts graduate of York University, Kim has a diploma in Early Childhood Education from Seneca College, and completed teacher's college at D'Youville College, earning her masters' degree in primary education.

In this engaging role, Kim prepared discussion topics on parenting styles, marriage family relationships, and created a safe environment for mothers to connect and build healthy relationships with one another.
Kim's reference from Mom's Time Out told me: "Kim was thrown challenge after challenge, and mothers trusted her with delicate situations knowing she would be compassionate, wise, and discreet"; all of Kim's references cited her good judgement, kindness, and absolute dedication to the children in her care.
Married to Paul and mother of Ben, in Grade 6, and Ella, in Grade 2. Kim is a reader, cook, and board game aficionado.
Mrs. Liz Miller
Senior Kindergarten
Honours B.A. Contemporary Studies, Children's Education Development - Wilfrid Laurier
I started working at TOS in 2017. It didn’t take long to realize this is a dream job. The Oxford School has the same core values that I carry in my life and classroom. I believe that there is no limit to the potential that a child can reach. Therefore I use a growth mindset in my classroom to ensure students are able to learn from their mistakes and work through them until they are successful. I work hard to ensure that there is a community feeling in the classroom where each student feels connected and valued. I create lessons that are both purposeful to the curriculum and life. I want students to finish the year feeling like they have the tools and strategies they need to help them learn and be in charge of their own life.
When I’m not teaching I can often be found at an arena. I have coached and played ringette for the majority of my life. I also run the special events committee and sponsorship program for a Jr. C hockey team, the Ayr Centennials. Although I keep busy in the winter, summer weather would have to be my favourite. I enjoy spending time outside by a ball diamond, lake or pool with my family, friends and dog, Gretzky.
Ms. Kim Dorken
Grade 1 | Director of Admissions
RECE (Registered Early Childhood Educator)
Diploma in Early Childhood Education - Conestoga College
I believe in opening doors and creating opportunity. I think that hands-on experience will take you furthest in life and I know that a smile has the power to change someone’s day if not maybe even change a little bit of the world. I adore my job and don’t think of it as a job but much more so an extension of myself. I wanted to be a Momma my entire life and I am so proud of my two daughters who are both at the school. I believe that the most important thing I will ever do is leave an imprint on my children and teach yours too! I am also a proud TOS parent! I believe so much in what The Oxford School has to offer and adore seeing it first-hand!
I graduated from the Early Childhood Education program at Conestoga College in 2004 and after spending some time working for preschool programs in the Waterloo Area I moved back to my roots in Oxford County and discovered The Oxford School. I came for a tour and fell in love with the little school that makes a big difference. In 2005 I was hired to develop and open the school’s preschool program. After getting it up and running I spent many happy years working with our youngest students and loving it! In 2013 a position opened up teaching Junior Kindergarten and I was thrilled to be asked to take it!
My philosophy of teaching encourages independence, and celebrates confidence. My hope for every child that enters my classroom, is that they will leave with confidence in themselves. This is likely the most important thing I can ever instill within them. In our classroom we explore and ask why and then work to figure out the answers and discover new ways and new skills along the way. I believe that having a growth mindset encourages positive thinking, builds self-confidence and focus as well as teaches kids how to treat themselves and others with respect and appreciation. We work the whole year with groups and independently, setting goals and celebrating! Learning truly is so much fun and I am so happy to be a part of it everyday.
When I am not at school I am in my home in Innerkip, or taking my daughters to dance or swimming. I love being a part of the community I live and work in and am always happy to have a house full of cheerful sounds and children playing. Family is so important to me and my friends are an extension of that as well. I have a special affection for pirates and cute and hairy monsters and love to bring this fun into the classroom!
I want you to know that I will invest myself into your child’s education and I am excited to embark upon their education career with them. I can’t wait to get to know you!

Grade 2
My journey in education has been shaped by my role as the oldest sibling in a family of six. Growing up, I found myself naturally stepping into the role of a teacher, and this early experience solidified my lifelong aspiration to educate.
My educational foundation was laid with a B.A. from York University, which propelled me to the United Kingdom to pursue a teaching program. In 2014, I proudly earned my Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) certification, marking the beginning of my professional teaching career.
Diving into the global educational landscape, I embraced a teaching opportunity in Dubai within the prestigious GEMS Education school system. The five years I spent there were transformative, both in refining my teaching skills and immersing myself in the vibrant Middle Eastern cultures.
Upon returning to Ontario four years ago, I eagerly took up the responsibility of shaping young minds through the Ontario Curriculum at a respected private school in Vaughan. Guiding students not only academically but also emotionally has been a fulfilling journey.
My path has now led me to Woodstock, where I am thrilled to become a part of the esteemed team at The Oxford School. I hold a strong belief in the individuality of each child, recognizing and embracing their diverse educational and emotional needs. Establishing positive and empowering teacher-student relationships is at the heart of my educational philosophy, with the aim of fostering both social and academic growth.

My name is Mrs. Namritha Vijayakumar, and I am delighted to be part of The Oxford School community as a dedicated educator. I currently reside in Kitchener. Originally from India, I hold a master’s degree in science and a Bachelor of Education degree. Since 2018, I have been working with children from primary through high school, gaining valuable experience in nurturing young minds. Upon immigrating to Canada in 2020, I obtained my OCT certification enabling me to continue my passion for teaching in this wonderful country. I have worked in private schools in the Peel Region where I taught grades 9 and 10 as a science teacher, but l discovered my true calling in working with young minds and have been actively involved in teaching them since 2021. Recently, I successfully completed my ABQ junior course at Queens University, Kingston enhancing my teaching skills.
At the heart of my teaching philosophy, I believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and I am committed to bringing out their best abilities. In my classroom, I love incorporating crafts, and creative art projects, and displaying my students’ work. My goal is to foster a love for learning by designing lessons that are engaging and hands-on. I want my students to feel empowered and know that they can overcome challenges and that I am here to support and guide them every step of the way. Above all, I want them to know that they are loved and cared for. As an educator who has personally experienced the journey of immigration, I am deeply committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming classroom environment that celebrates diversity and culture. Above all, I want my students to know that they are loved and cared for.
Outside the classroom, I am blessed with a wonderful family-an amazing husband, and a charming 18-month-old son who fills my life with joy and love. Spending quality time with them and watching my son grow is incredibly rewarding. In my leisure time, I enjoy doing crafts, relaxing by the beach, and spending time with my friends.
I am immensely thrilled to be part of The Oxford School and have the privilege of teaching your child. Together we will embark on a journey of learning and discovery.

B.Ed. First Class Standing - Lakehead University
I was raised in Kincardine, Ontario before I left to attend University in Orillia. As soon as I graduated, I was fortunate to be able to work in England due to being a dual citizen. I have been a teacher in England for over 8 years teaching years 4,5 and 6. I have been blessed to earn experience in many different areas of the curriculum. I have even been a part of setting up a library, developing a new curriculum and coaching a soccer team. Teaching in England allowed me to travel and see different parts of the world. I loved experiencing new cultures and soaking in all the history! I am very excited to be returning to Canada and begin my journey teaching at The Oxford School.
In my spare time, you will either catch me with my nose in a good book or doing something active like running or going for a hike. I have a goal to be able to run a half marathon one day. I am also passionate about being a lifelong learner and this is a passion I hope to instill in the children I teach.
My inspiration for being a teacher comes from the desire to make a difference. I believe that children need somebody to believe in them and push them to strive to reach their potential. I believe every child has unlimited potential to reach whatever they desire. I want to be the teacher that helps students realise this. I want to develop a positive mindset in all the children and create a safe atmosphere for children to learn and develop.

B.Ed Junior / Intermediate – University of Western Ontario
RECE (Registered Early Childhood Educator)
ECE Diploma – Mohawk College
AQ Primary division – Queens University
After growing up locally, I attended Redeemer University in Ancaster where I earned my BA in English with minors in History and Psychology. While at Redeemer, I earned the opportunity to spend a semester abroad at Regent’s Park College of The University of Oxford in England. Following my time at Redeemer, I attended teacher’s college at Western. Soon after, I began my teaching career in Grade 2 at Trinity School under the caring guidance of Sandra Hurley.
I sincerely valued my time at Trinity and my time in second grade peaked my interest in early learning. As a result, I returned to school, completing an intensive program for Early Childhood Education at Mohawk College and earned my ECE diploma. Since then, I have taught as an early childhood educator, coordinated children’s ministry programming, and operated my own home childcare. These experiences allowed me to prioritize family life while my own children, Oliver and Emerson, were young.
As a teacher, I am someone who deeply values kindness and community. I believe that children will live up or down to your expectations and that every child deserves a champion who will challenge them and celebrate their successes – whether large or small. While academics are undoubtedly important, even more so is a child’s need for a safe space to learn and grow. I work very hard to build a positive classroom community where each student is valued and celebrated in their uniqueness.
Outside of work, I am my husband and children’s biggest cheerleader and can often be found at the baseball field, hockey arena, or dance studio cheering them on. I also enjoy reading and writing for pleasure and baking treats for my loved ones.

Over the course of my five-year program, I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Contemporary Studies, with a minor in English and Religious Studies, as well as a Bachelor of Education. Upon graduation, I started my teaching career in grade six at our very own The Oxford School and haven't looked back; I have truly found my home here amongst all of our wonderful staff and students.
My philosophy of teaching emphasizes a growth mindset, where I encourage all of my students to maximize their full, individual potential. Personal bests are encouraged and celebrated! Our small class sizes enable me to do a variety of exciting hands-on learning activities and to individualize curriculum content to reflect the needs of my students. I like to incorporate various STEM ideologies in my classroom and love to watch students collaborate with each other, embracing both academics and creativity to complete a task!
Over the past ten years, I have enjoyed teaching recreational and competitive dance at various studios throughout Southwestern Ontario. I am fortunate to be able to incorporate my passion for dance and performing arts into my teaching program here at TOS. Stay tuned for surprise performances at tea! Aside from teaching, I adore anything and everything Disney! I enjoy vacationing with my husband and am always anticipating our next visit!

I obtained my bachelor degree in Mathematics from the Harbin Institute of Technology at Weihai before coming to study in Canada, where I received a Master of Science in Mathematics at the University of Windsor and a Master of Arts in Economics at the Carleton University.

I began my career in education teaching in England. After completing a year-long contract I accepted a permanent position, at my school, and enjoyed teaching grade 7, 8, 9 10 and 11 English classes, getting involved in extracurricular activities and becoming a valued member of our school community. Since returning to Canada I have tutored students in math and literacy and taught science workshops with Mad Science of Hamilton and Kitchener. I was also responsible for developing Mad Science programming and training and mentoring other ‘Mad Scientists’. I was thrilled to join The Oxford School family and am excited for the wonderful challenges and infinite possibilities the coming years hold.
Family is very important to me and I am the proud mom to three amazing little boys. I have young children myself so I understand the immense trust parents place in their children’s teachers. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to be a positive influence in my students’ lives and look forward to working in close collaboration with parents to ensure each of my students reach their potential. I believe my main role in the classroom is to create and maintain an inclusive, caring and safe learning environment for my students. A place where students can take risks, grow in confidence, feel a sense of belonging and develop a love of learning. I have always strived to provide students with learning materials that reflect the diversity of students in our classroom and design learning opportunities that engage students’ natural curiosity of the world around them. I respect that every child is unique with different strengths, abilities and talents and strive to provide activities that engage multiple intelligences and are FUN! I love drama and have a passion for the arts! I completed a BFA in Theatre Studies at York University and have been involved in many community theatre productions. I use my expertise to incorporate drama, music and art activities into my lessons and have found that these types of learning opportunities are not only fun but also provide students opportunity to explore topics verbally, visually and kinetically.

Liberal Arts - Moody Institute
Music Performance, Elementary Specialist Certification - Royal Conservatory of Music
Ontario Music Educators' Association Member
I have been at The Oxford School since it opened in the Fall of 1999. I have had the privilege of teaching for 25 years. My experience includes having my own JK classroom, as well as grades 1-4. My passion, however, is in the music room where I developed TOS’s music program and have served as Music Director for the past 14 years. I hold an Elementary Specialist Certification in piano from The Royal Conservatory of Music, and I teach many different instruments along with music theory and music history. I also currently have a large private studio which I am very proud of. Many of my students have been awarded trophies and scholarships at The Woodstock Rotary Music Festival and other competitions. While studying music performance in Chicago, specializing in trumpet and piano, I had the opportunity to perform throughout the United States with The Moody Concert Band, followed by freelancing in Chicago and New York. I continue to enjoy performing at weddings and various venues with my musically talented daughters (who are all TOS graduates!).
The most rewarding part of teaching at TOS for me is to see my students achieve their goals and feel confident and happy in an environment that supports this. I have witnessed the ways in which skills and self-confidence gained through musical study have transformed other areas of students’ lives in incredibly positive and inspiring ways. I encourage you to join this fabulous community that provides an environment of learning and developing in a safe and positive atmosphere.
Ms. Alisha VanHaeren
Resource Teacher
RECE (Registered Early Childhood Educator)
B.A. Childhood and Social Institutions - Western University
Diploma in Early Childhood Education - Fanshawe College
I am actually a graduate of The Oxford School. I attended the school for grades 6, 7 and 8. It was in 2016 when I started working at TOS. It was because of the great educational foundation I received that I went on to further my education in more ways than one. I have successfully graduated from both Western University and Fanshawe College.
As the Resource Teacher you can usually find me in a number of classrooms throughout the day giving the teachers any assistance they may need. I also work with the students in small groups or one on one in my office. I love being able to get to know the students through working with them. As a teacher there is no greater moment than when a student becomes confident in the work they are doing. However, what I find equally important is that the students feel like they are gaining strength mentally, socially and emotionally. TOS has such a welcoming atmosphere for the students to find their own path and follow it.
Before becoming the Resource Teacher I took a year to indulge in one of my biggest passions, which is travelling. From 2015-2016 I spent my time travelling across the globe and gained so much cultural perspective. My first stop was in Bolivia helping to build an orphanage. It wasn’t long after that I decided to go to Spain which is where I lived for a few months, and learned how to speak Spanish. I also had the privilege to travel in Europe to see many different cities. Lastly, I found myself being able to check off my bucket list. I had always wanted to explore Australia, and when I finally had the chance I jumped at it. It was certainly my most favourite trip to date.
As much as I wish I could keep travelling, teaching is truly where my heart lies. I love being able to use a variety of educational tools and strategies to help enhance children’s learning!

Bonjour. I am currently teaching the FSL program at The Oxford School for grades two through eight. Teaching has always been my passion, and I have been blessed with the opportunity of earning a living while doing what I love. It has been a lengthy career at that. I graduated from Brock Teachers’ College at a time when university degrees were not a prerequisite for teaching certificates, and faced my first class at the age of 18.
For ten years I taught grade seven and eight language arts in Port Colborne, then left the teaching profession to open a dance studio and supply store called the Danceworks in St. Catharines. During the course of the following eight years my three children arrived, and I decided to return to teaching, only to be informed that there would be no openings in September unless I could teach French. (This was intended to be a joke apparently.) That fall, having switched my degree major from English to French, and having completed French part 1 during the summer, I was offered a placement in Niagara Falls teaching FSL grades 4-8, and never looked back. I completed my degree in French at Brock University, finished my French specialists part 2 and 3, then in 2000 moved to Cambridge and retired from the Waterloo Board of Education in 2005. I was done with the system, done with the rat race, but missed teaching terribly. Then I stopped by TOS one November day and talked to Miss Hurley about a job.
Needless to say, I was in shock and awe at the relaxed, positive ambiance that greeted me from my first day. Not only were the students enthusiastic and ready to learn, but they left TOS as responsible, decent people, who were considerate of others and confident in their abilities. Both character education and academics are alive and well at The Oxford School. Through many life changes, both happy and sad, this place has become my home away from home. I’m sure the same feeling applies to students and teachers alike.
As a staff we are now looking forward to new opportunities in 2021 I see it as my personal goal to embrace the future changes, while cherishing the basic principles that this school was founded upon.
