Hello! My name is Alyson Chiasson, and this will be my first year at RCA as a 3rd Grade Teacher. I am thrilled to be a part of this school! I was born and raised in Sabah (North Borneo), Malaysia, and I moved to the United States in 2021 after marrying my husband, who was, at the time, still serving in the Army.
I have 8 years of teaching experience and have worked in both British and Malaysian curriculum settings and syllabi. Those years are ones I cherish to this day, as I had the opportunity to meet many wonderful students and families from all over the world. I have taught a wide range of grade levels, from Kindergarten to High School, but I have always enjoyed teaching 2nd and 3rd grades the most.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Music Studies from York St. John University, United Kingdom and earned my TESMC certificate from the Department For Education and Child Development Under the Government of South Australia, while working as a teaching assistant at one of the oldest British international schools in Malaysia. I truly believe that children learn best when they are having fun, which is why I strive to balance and incorporate enjoyable lessons in my classroom.
Before moving to the United States, I was an avid traveler and hope to explore the world again in the near future. In my spare time, I enjoy relaxing with my cats, baking pastries at home, and cooking authentic Malaysian as well as Chinese cuisines. I also love learning about new cultures and sharing my own with others. I look forward to seeing the growth of each students and hope I would be able to inspire them as much as they have inspired me since I started here.
