Lower School students displayed their 5 favorite things about Omnia to celebrate Valentine’s Day! Here are some of their favorites (and ours too!):

“I love that we play outside every day!”
- Students have 60 minutes of DAILY outdoor recess! Active bodies lead to active minds!

“I love that we go on lots of field trips!”
- All classes attend a field trip once a month. We believe in the importance of real world experiences!

“I love that we learn about Jesus!”
- In every class, at every grade level, students learn that our world was designed by a loving Creator and saved through His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Go Gryphons and Happy Valentine’s Day!

Founder and Teacher, Kimberly Staggs

B.A.(history, minor in German), University of California Irvine
M.A.(history), The University of Alabama
J.D., The University of Alabama

Mrs. Staggs was raised in Irvine, California, where she attended the University of California, Irvine, Campus wide Honors Program, earning aB.A. with a major in history and a minor in German. During her junior year at U.C. Irvine, she lived and studied in Göttingen, Germany, through the University of California’s Education Abroad Program. While taking classes in Germany, she developed an interest in the civil rights movement in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, which led her to write her senior thesis on the Birmingham civil rights marches in 1963, “Alienable Rights: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Power By and For the Children.”

Mrs. Staggs graduated cm laude and as a member of Phi Beta Kappa from U.C.I. in 1993, then moved to Alabama to pursue her M.A. in history at the University of Alabama, where she received a Graduate Council Fellowship. Continuing her interest in civil rights, Mrs. Staggs wrote her master’s thesis about the Selma voting rights marches of 1965. Writing “Williams v. Wallace and the Federal Court in the Selma March: Bringing Proportionality to the Constitution” piqued her interest in the field of law and, upon receiving her M.A. in 1995, she began her studies at the University of Alabama School of Law, where she became an editor for the Law and Psychology Review and was was given Best Paper awards in both her Decedents’ Estates and Real Estate Development courses. While still in law school, she clerked for the Honorable Robert Bernard Harwood, Jr., on the Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court. Kimberly received her Juris Doctor degree and was admitted to the Alabama Bar Association in 1998.

Following law school, Mrs. Staggs moved to New York City for a year with her husband, Clay Staggs, while he attended school, where she worked for the Office of Development and the Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy at New York University Law School. Upon return she again clerked for the Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court, this time for the Honorable L. Scott Coogler. In 2000, she opened her own law office and enjoyed practicing in real estate law. In addition to her own practice, Mrs. Staggs has written appellate briefs for other attorneys and taught paralegal courses and Western Civilization at Shelton State Community College.

Mrs. Staggs turned from college courses to classical education in 2006 when it was time for her daughter to start Kindergarten. Having been heartily persuaded that a classical education would be the best option for her own children, she became the first Kindergarten teacher at Riverwood Classical School (now Omnia). Mrs. Staggs delights in teaching Omnibus in the Upper School.

Enrollment is now open for the 26-27 school year! Message us today to set up a Preview Day for your student!
