Anna Boydstun
Anna’s students can expect to be so engaged in energetic discussion that they barely notice the time go by. By telling stories, she brings the past to life. Anna likes to include lesser-known elements of the history of subjects—a “behind the scenes” account that intrigues students and sparks their curiosity to research beyond the classroom content. She loves cultivating a learning environment and community that centers on Christ and involves discovering the treasure of His wisdom.
Raised in the Texas Hill Country amid farming and ranching, Anna went on to earn a Bachelor of Interior Design degree from Texas Tech University, specializing in historic preservation and restoration. Her work over the last twenty plus years has involved public history projects, including historic design and museum curation, as well as teaching at the primary and university levels. Anna holds a Master of Arts in history from Liberty University and is completing her doctoral dissertation at Liberty University on an interwar economic history of which she curated.
In her spare time, Anna researches and works with museums on archival and curation projects. She has presented on various histories, including John Calvin’s influence on the American Founders’ education. Anna holds dear the reading of the Bible, the works of many theologians, and political and intellectual history. Her love for the theology of hymns has her listening to them daily. Having been involved with Wilson Hill Academy since 2016, Anna has witnessed the fruits of its robust education in her three grown children, of whom two attended and one graduated.
