Perin Ellsworth-Osanya
Sixth Grade Teacher
Perin attended the Monadnock Waldorf School K-12 and was inspired to pursue a career in Waldorf education to share the magic and warmth of his childhood with others. After earning BA in Philosophy from Antioch College in Ohio, Perin completed many internships and programs centered around Waldorf teaching and music therapy, and taught for five years at a private school in Minnesota.
With a deep love for storytelling and myth, Perin uses stories to bring the curriculum to life for his students. He is committed to developing the public model of Waldorf education, and believes that helping young people be engaged and confident in themselves is one of the most powerful ways to change the world.
In his free time, Perin likes to play traditional Celtic music with friends, drink tea and bake sourdough bread, and he cherishes spending time with his family. Perin lives in Keene with his wife, young daughter, two dogs, and one cat.
