Beth Smith is the third-grade teacher at Regents Academy. She has been involved with Classical Christian Education (CCE) for over a decade as a teacher, administrator, and international advocate for CCE. In addition to their son Nate, a recent Regents graduate, Beth and her husband Aaron have three grown children and several wonderful grandchildren. After Aaron’s retirement from a full military career, Aaron, Beth, and Nate served as overseas missionaries with the Rafiki Foundation in East Africa. When their time at Rafiki was complete, Aaron returned to work for the US military in Florida until the Smith family moved back to Texas in 2021. Pleased to find a CCE school so close to home, they enrolled Nate at Regents Academy. Soon after, Beth joined the faculty as a fifth-grade teacher. She later transitioned to the third-grade classroom, where she has taught the last four years. 

Beth finds joy in encouraging students as they strive, fail, succeed, and mature during the challenging benchmark Third Grade Year.  Understanding that a biblical worldview is necessary to have a right view of God and of oneself, Beth is committed to teaching with a distinctly classical and decidedly Christian pedagogy. Moreover, she is passionate to guide her students to find God’s truth, goodness and beauty in all subjects so they can know the True and Living God who has a good plan and purpose for all their lives.
