Stefanie Baeker
Spanish Immersion
I have started as a substitute teacher at Seashore Academy in February 2020. Later in 2020, I started teaching History, Science, and Spanish at the Huntington Beach Campus to TK/K and Elementary level, as well as Spanish to various grades in Newport Beach. I currently teach 2nd and 3rd grade in our Spanish Immersion program in Newport Beach, which I enjoy immensely! Besides my love to teach and learn for myself, I’m passionate about Astrology, travel, good food, and spending time in nature. To stay fit, I take Yoga/Tai chi classes, and also bike, hike, and swim.

Being in the field of education for 24 years, I have learned the importance of relationships within the community. Connecting with students, parents, and teachers has influenced the way I teach and lead. While working with students, parents and staff, I can make learning interactive, interesting and fun through focused attention and giving positive encouragement.
After earning my teaching credential at Cal State Fullerton, my first teaching position was in the Kindergarten classroom. Since then I have held various K-9th grade positions teaching and administrating public, private and home school classes.
During the past 15 years, I have been homeschooling my two daughters and helping homeschool families navigate their own homeschool path. However, when I have some free time you may find me drinking tea, napping or reading a book.

Yuka Garrett
Kindergarten
I am a kindergarten teacher at Newport Beach Campus. I love this age group! I grew up in Japan and love to travel there every year. I have an amazing daughter who is twelve years old and loves to horseback ride. My goal is to create a warm, loving, and supportive environment where my students are excited about learning and look forward to coming to school.
