Rob Shelton
Director of the Rhetoric School / Bible Teacher
Rob Shelton came to The Geneva School in the summer of 2021 and currently serves as the director of the rhetoric school. He also teaches 12th grade Bible and a rhetoric school academic elective: The Life and Works of C.S. Lewis.
Prior to joining TGS, Rob served as the rhetoric school headmaster at Geneva School of Boerne, Texas, for fourteen years. Before his transition to Christian classical education, Rob worked for twenty-two years as a youth pastor (nineteen of them at one church). He was also a part-time lecturer in rhetoric and English for ten years at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
Rob earned his BA and MA in English from the University of Texas at San Antonio and an MDiv from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. After the birth of their twin daughters, Rob and his wife, Kathleen, began investigating future educational options, and they were drawn to Christian classical education. He knew he had to be a part of this movement, so he transitioned from the church house to the schoolhouse, and now he is able to combine his calling to work with students with his desire to cultivate intellectually vibrant disciples of Christ.
Rob and Kathleen were married in 1987 and have twin daughters (very fraternal): Emily and Erica. Both graduated from Geneva School of Boerne and Calvin University and both are now married and living abroad: Emily in South Korea and Erica in England. Rob and Kathleen love Disney World and have spent way too much money there over the years, but they plan on spending more (especially now that they have grandchildren). Rob loves (in addition to his wife) reading, sports, and C.S. Lewis (mostly in that order). He and Kathleen attend Celebration Community Church.
