"Griffin Academy: Meet Our Faculty"
 
  

Our mission

The mission of Griffin Academy for Gifted Youth is to provide the finest possible supplemental education for those particularly motivated high schoolers who wish to make the most of their unique gifts in a small-scale, collegial setting. In addition to our advanced academic offerings, we aim to instill in our students an inherent sense of pride in their abilities, citizenship in their community, confidence in themselves, and awareness of their potential. We teach our students that they have the power to do or be anything - but also that with great power must come great responsibility.

Our faculty

Professor Donald E. Griffin, D.Ed., Ph.D. - Chancellor
Prof. Griffin holds an educational doctorate from New Avalon University and a Ph.D in Physics from the New Avalon Institute of Science. In addition to his duties as Chancellor of Griffin Academy, he holds a full-time science instructor position on the faculty of neighboring Beiwiru District High School, where the Academy's students will attend regular classes. He serves as the science curriculum coordinator for Beiwiru School District, which enables him to ensure that the Academy's offerings mesh perfectly with the program at BDHS.

Katherine Griffin, M.Sc., D.Sc. - Rectrix Magnifica
Our other, but by no means lesser, Prof. Griffin did her pre-doctoral work at the University of Chicago and NAIS, holds a doctorate in computer and information sciences from the Nekomi Institute of Techology, and knows more about the Chicago Cubs than any mortal human being should know. As Griffin Academy's rectrix, she is responsible for setting the Academy's educational goals and curriculum, as well as overseeing the professional development of the staff and the academic wellbeing of the student body. As if that weren't enough for one person to do, she also teaches the Academy's information sciences class!

Professor Rose Tyler, MB. ChB., Ph.D.
With a doctorate in Hyperscience and a medical degree from NAIS, and a degree in literature from NAU, Prof. Tyler rightly describes herself as a "Swiss Army scientist". In addition to her wide-ranging teaching duties, she provides expertise as the Academy's medical officer and still finds the time to star in the popular BBC drama Professor Enigma. As a card-carrying Tesladyne Certified Action Scientist, she also leads student field trips to some of the most exotic and fascinating corners of the cosmos.

John J. Smith, Ph.D.
With more degrees than even he can keep track of and areas of expertise that often surprise him as much as anyone else, Doctor Smith is uniquely qualified to instruct in practically any field required. In particular, there are few finer teachers of advanced mathematics or the history (and prehistory) of galactic civilization. He also plays a mean electric guitar.

Drake Lockheed, LL.D.
In addition to his duties as the Academy's legal counsel, Dr. Lockheed is our chief of campus security and attendance monitor. He also teaches one of our most popular elective courses, "CUI 102: Cooking With Fire".

Visiting Faculty
In addition to its regular roster of instructors, Griffin Academy is pleased to host a vibrant schedule of guest lecturers and visiting faculty from the far corners of the academic and scientific galaxy, including Prof. Peter B. Parker of the University of Aldera, NIT's Prof. Henry McCoy, Dr. Mordin Solus of the Halo Research Center, NAIS's Prof. Andrew Petrarca, and Prof. Charles Xavier of the Xavier Institute.
