Mrs. Stacia Jacob
Educational Background: BA in Elementary Education and Psychology from Monmouth University in 1998.
Teaching Experience: I served as the Director of Children's Ministry at First Baptist Church in Red Bank NJ from 1998-2000 and taught first grade at Calvary Academy from 2000-2001. We began homeschooling when our oldest daughter, Emma was in kindergarten. This is our 12th year. We joined this co op, formerly named REACH, at the time we began homeschooling. I've taught a variety of classes over the years, some of which include: Show and Tell, Undercover Heroes of the Bible, Manners, Drama, How's Your Serve, Poetry, Handwriting, Public Speaking, and Personal Finance. I enjoy being in a classroom setting and sharing my gift of teaching with other homeschooled students. I also co-lead American Heritage Girls Troop NJ0001, which serves families inside and outside of Agape.
My family includes my husband of almost 20 years, Andy, two daughters Emma (15) and Genevieve (12), and a bad dog named Hazel. We attend church at Jackson Baptist and enjoy being involved in ministry there.

I am a wife of 14 years, a mom to two blessings, 10 year old boy and 4 year old girl. After High School, I attended a 9 month business school and received my diploma in Office Automation/Data Entry. I worked at IBM for about 10 years then was laid off. I have been a stay at home mom since 2007 when my son was born. I have been homeschooling since 2014 when my son was 7 years old in the 2nd grade and my daughter was just 1 year old. We are a musically inclined family .. my husband and I are salsa dance instructors and teach at Agape Arts Center. My son loves drums and has been taking lessons. My daughter loves dance - she takes ballet/tap classes at Agape Arts Center. We are a loving family, believers in Jesus Christ, showing our kids there is only one way and one mediator between man and God.
