The NCCL School Staff
Gabe Bisio
Group 2 Teacher, Educational Director (Grades 3-5)
Gabe is a 2002 NCCL School grad, and it was NCCL that first inspired him to become an educator. Gabriel graduated from the University of Delaware in 2012 with a BS in Electrical Engineering and a minor in Renewable Energy Technology. After graduation he lived and worked at an intentional community in upstate New York before being hired as an engineer by the microelectronics company Intel, in Portland, OR. After several years in the field, Gabriel began his transition into education and has most recently spent the past year living and teaching mathematics at Darrow School in New Lebanon, NY. Gabriel loves exploring the intersection between the arts, sciences, and mathematics and he is so excited to begin sharing his excitement for these topics at a school which has meant so much to him!

Amber Money
Spanish Teacher
Amber Money is an alumna of the University of Delaware with a BS in Spanish Education and a MA in Spanish Literature. She has taught Spanish to children of all ages from toddlers through retirees at various positions including the University of Delaware, North East High School in Maryland, and at various daycares and preschools throughout Delaware. She looks forward to bringing her love of Spanish, music, art, and movement to her classes at the NCCL school. For Groups 1 and 2, she focuses on incorporating play and music since children learn best when given the freedom to move and explore. For Groups 3 and 4, she strives to connect their language learning to the community through field trips as well as learning about the broader Spanish speaking population throughout the world. Amber joined the NCCL team in 2020 and looks forward to learning and growing with the community for many years to come!
