Cultivating Creative Literacy & Confidence
Megan Kwan-Nixon
Megan Kwan-Nixon has been a mentor to children of all ages for over 15 years and is an advocate for helping others nurture and develop their confidence. Originally from Vancouver, Megan taught at two of the best independent schools in Canada: York House School and West Point Grey Academy. During her five years as an elementary educator at West Point Grey Academy, she helped re-shape the scope of learning of the school’s Grade 3 curriculum to align and modernize learning with the province-wide introduction of the BC New Curriculum.
Megan is passionate about education because she believes that her role as a teacher is to help all her students realize and own their self-worth, and to help them find the courage to take risks in their learning through creativity and happy exploration.
As a firm believer in life-long education: Megan is a lifer and alumna of York House School, and has two conferred degrees from the University of British Columbia: a B.A in English Literature and a B.Ed degree in elementary education. Megan currently still holds a BC Teaching Certificate, and as a former athlete, she has 15 years of coaching experience in both basketball and track and field. Megan is thrilled to be a part of the Baker & Bloom family, and is looking forward to modernizing the outlook of education in Hong Kong.
