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 Senior at Regents, 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. Soon after, Beth joined the faculty as a fifth-grade teacher and then later transitioned to teaching third-grade. Beth finds joy in encouraging students as they strive, fail, succeed, and mature during the challenging benchmark Third Grade Year, and she is passionate to help them know the True and Living God who has a good plan and purpose for all their lives.
