Mary Aycrigg
Fifth Grade Teacher
Mary Aycrigg joined the fifth-grade teaching team in 2023. She was born and raised in Miami and enjoys being known as a native Floridian. Mary attended the University of South Florida in Tampa and earned a degree in health and science education. While at USF, Mary committed her life to Christ through a campus ministry called The Navigators, and there she met her future husband, Jon. After settling in Brandon, Florida, Mary began teaching earth science in the public school system, had two children, and helped plant Bay Life Church. God opened the door for her to become the children’s director of Bay Life Kids, a ministry that welcomed over four hundred children every Sunday. As the children’s director, Mary wrote curriculum, taught both large and small groups, and developed volunteers. She served in this capacity for seventeen years until 2010 when God called her and Jon to Maitland to care for their aging parents. Mary accepted a job teaching science at Milwee Middle School in Longwood and, for the next thirteen years, enjoyed the opportunity to work with all kinds of students through ESOL, ESE, reading, and gifted endorsements. She truly loved her time there.
Mary became interested in the Christian classical model of education and began to pray that an opportunity would arise. Mary is thrilled to be a part of The Geneva School and its rich tradition of Christian classical education.
Mary and her husband attend Orlando Grace church. She is passionate about her grandchildren, Brooke, Luke, Henry and Jonathan.
