Anastasia Brooks

As a homeschool graduate Anastasia Brooks developed a passion for excellence within education. She saw the intellectual development along with the formation to think independently and critically within her homeschool years. She believes in encouraging this within her style of teaching along with a genuine willingness to learn from students

During her teenage years, Anastasia found herself wondering what the true sense of femininity meant and how the Catholic Church’s stance on it differed from the world’s view. After finding it through Pope St John Paul II’s writings on the Feminine Genius, she became passionate about spreading it to other young teenagers so they too will understand their inherent dignity and worth as daughters of Christ in the modern world.

In addition to teaching Anastasia is the Founder and Owner of  “Valleys of Grace” specializing in chapel veils and spreading the true meaning behind why women should veil. In her spare time, she can be found reading a good book, baking, hiking and being involved in her local Catholic communities.
