Mrs. Sue Stein
Personal Profile
I was privileged to grow up in a Christian home. My parents sacrificed so that my brother and I could attend Highland [Indiana] Christian School and Illiana Christian High School. When my husband, Dwight, and I married—nearly 30 years ago!—we were also committed to Christian education for our children. All three have benefited from their education here at Timothy, and I have been blessed by being a part of the faculty since my oldest was a kindergartner. I enjoy reading, gardening, and have recently been hooked by Sudoku puzzles. We are members of Bethel Protestant Reformed Church in Roselle.
Professional Profile
I have been a reader all my life! My mom used to tell me to stop reading, go outside and play! At age 15 I got my first job—in my local public library. I graduated from Calvin College with a degree in education with an English major. I then went to Indiana University to earn my Master’s Degree in Library Science. I worked for 5 years as a children’s librarian in the Skokie Public Library. After a five-year break to start my family, I began here at Timothy 22 years ago, heading up the grade school/middle school library. Discovering new books and new ways to connect students and books keeps me excited about each new school year.
Philosophical Profile
Christian education is based on the absolute truth of Scripture and acknowledges God as Creator and Lord of all. A Christian school and its teachers have the wonderful opportunity and obligation to communicate this truth and to share Christ’s love. The mission of Timothy Christian School is to develop academically prepared Christian disciples, and it is a privilege to support that goal in the Library Media Center.
