Hi, I’m Elfi Garcia, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m the founder of Grace Hill Academy, a joyful and empowering place designed to help learners feel known and inspired. Education has been a big part of my life for many years. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design and have spent over eight years working in education across public, private, and charter schools, as well as early childhood settings. I’ve worked with learners ages 3-14 as an art teacher, yearbook director, Spanish teacher, and early childhood professional. Alongside teaching, I’ve worked in graphic design and marketing, creating engaging materials and learning experiences that support creativity and real-world skills. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I love bringing creativity, language, life skills, and faith into our learning days. I became a guide because I believe education should build confident, kind, capable learners—not just cover academics. As a wife and mom of four girls, I know how important it is to find a learning environment where children feel known, loved, and encouraged. Through my affiliation with Prenda, I’m honored to guide learners at Grace Hill Academy as they grow in confidence, character, and a love of learning.
