Since joining Fraser Academy ten years ago, Catriona Gordon has been a dedicated and passionate teacher who brings boundless enthusiasm to her classroom, profoundly impacting her students. Her lifelong passion for the natural world, coupled with her experiences as a parent of a child with learning differences, brings purpose and deep understanding to her classroom.

Ms. Gordon fosters a nurturing environment that builds confidence and a genuine love for learning. She employs innovative strategies to help students stay organized and manage their time effectively. Her approach, especially effective for students with dyslexia, incorporates hands-on learning and scaffolding to deepen their understanding of scientific concepts.

Ms. Gordon greatly values FA’s commitment to teaching the “whole child,” addressing each student’s social-emotional, academic, and physical needs. With small class sizes and personalized teaching, she helps students uncover their strengths and potential. As she passionately states, “My job is to see the potential in my students and to help them believe in themselves.” Under her guidance, students confidently embrace new challenges.
