Joe McClain | Fifth Grade

First Year at ACA: 2025

Joe McClain is a 5th-grade teacher at Augustine Classical Academy. Inspired by a former co-teacher, Joe started an extensive self-led study focused on classical education. This study directed Joe’s path to Augustine Classical Academy. Joe believes that combining Christian education with classical education is so important in shaping young minds as God is the foundation of knowledge. 

Joe is a proud graduate of the University of Colorado where he received a degree in Business with an emphasis in Finance. He later obtained a degree in education as he saw a need to help mentor and teach younger generations. Prior to being a teacher at Augustine Classical Academy, Joe spent over a decade working in the business world, followed by another decade as a 5th-grade teacher in both public and Christian schools. In his free time, he can be seen running, biking, reading books, and spending time with his family.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18
