meet the teacher

     Hello!  My name is Amy Small, and I'm so happy to serve as Art teacher for Grades K through 8 here at St. James Regional Catholic School.  I began teaching at St. James in 2013.  Prior to that, I established the Art Program at Ridley Park Presbyterian Church Nursery School and served as the Art teacher there for 5 years.  My background also includes working for 9 years as a licensed and Board-certified Art therapist with children and adolescents in Philadelphia and additionally serving as a clinical supervisor to graduate Art Therapy student interns.  I am a graduate of both Cardinal O'Hara High School and the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts.  I earned my Bachelor's degree in Art Education with a minor in Psychology from Marywood University, and I am certified to teach students in grades K-12.  I received my Master's degree in Creative Arts in Therapy from Hahnemann University (now Drexel University).  As I enter my 10th year of teaching Art at St. James, my role has expanded this year to include that of STREAM Coach.  

​     I'm very blessed to be married to my husband/best friend and am the proud mother of four wonderful children/SJR alumni (Classes of '18, '19, and '22).  My family and I are active members of St. Madeline's Parish, where we've been involved in various ministries over the years.  I'm especially passionate about teaching your children in this faith-filled, Christ-centered environment that we call St. James Regional, and I look forward to nurturing their creativity, innovation, spirituality, and self-expression through a myriad of Art and STREAM projects this year!
