Mrs. Lara Annese To All Instructors

Although Mrs. Annese's love of teaching began with a passion for general health and fitness, in recent years, the Lord as given her a clear calling to focus on spiritual health as much as physical. She has been drawn to Christian Apologetics and has thoroughly enjoyed watching the hearts and minds of students open, while teaching this subject matter. Her Logic and Fallacy class has paved the way for additional Apologetics course offering at HEARTS. With the addition of two HS level courses, she is thrilled to dive deeper into defending the faith and culture views. She has a strong desire to teach students how to find biblical truth, defend Faith, understand God's design and stand firm in the Word during these formative years.

Prior to homeschooling, Mrs. Annese began her journey in teaching personal fitness trainer and Pilates instructor.  After years of cheerfully encouraging others to do that last rep., she decided to pursue further instruction in the direction of movement and health by applying to Physical Therapy School.  By the grace of God she was admitted, and attended school at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, receiving her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2007.  

Mrs. Annese lives in Sterling with her husband and son. Early on in their son's childhood, it was clear that their most earnest hope for their son is that he would love the Lord, and for this reason they committed to homeschool him.  This has ignited her love for teaching and the journey has been a joy.  Though she loves teaching Pilates and working as a physical therapist, nothing compares with the privilege it is to teach, instruct, and learn alongside both her son and your children.
