Meghan Schumacher

Meghan Schumacher is a French Teacher at West Seattle High School in Seattle, Washington.  She graduated with a degree in French and Secondary Education from Colorado State University and was a University Honors Scholar and received the award for most outstanding French student in college.  She received her M.Ed. from Boston College in Curriculum and Instruction and English Language Learning.  She has been teaching for over 25 years in three states and abroad.  She is National Board Certified and loves her family, the outdoors, and learning languages.

Meghan went abroad with CIEE in college in 1995 to do a volunteer program for a month in the summer.  It was a life changing experience, and within six months of coming home she had decided to become a French teacher.  She has been partnering with CIEE for summer study abroad for high school students since 2016.  Almost 300 students have gone abroad since then and have earned over $300,000 in scholarships.  The CIEE Global Navigator Program has transformed the school community, with many students talk about “when” they will study abroad in high school instead of “if”.
