Amy Lisbon Branton

Literacy Specialist

Students achieve because each knows they are valued and understood and are receiving an education based upon them as an individual. CRS provides flexibility for an educator to be creative and approach curriculum taking into account individual students’ interests and skill levels. The sense of community is evident from students to staff to parents. 

Amy (Charles River School Class of ‘95) joined CRS in 2008 as a first-grade teacher, and then moved into the role of Literacy Specialist. Prior to CRS, Amy taught first grade at the Advent School in Boston, and also worked as a language tutor during the summer at the Carroll School. Amy was accepted as a Fellow of the Orton-Gillingham Academy in October 2022. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Connecticut College and her master’s in early childhood education from Lesley University.
