Annie Carr

Lead Upper Elementary Guide

Annie Carr, known by her Students as Mrs. C is VMS’s Lead Upper Elementary Guide. With a Masters of Arts Education from the Corcoran College of Art & Design and passion for teaching, Mrs. C has dedicated her career to championing the arts and education––first as a member of a nonprofit dedicated to securing support for arts programming in NYC public schools, and later as a teacher in the DC area for 5 years with the Smithsonian and an arts education nonprofit. In 2022 Mrs. C came to VMS as an Elementary Aid and our Arts & Socratic instructor before quickly becoming the Upper Elementary Lead Guide, a role which she has excelled at.

In her free time she enjoys spending time with her family, exploring the woods around her home, cooking, turning up the music, and tending to her garden and flock of chickens. As a life-long potter, her home ceramics studio buzzes with activity during the summer. Mrs. C loves sharing this passion for clay with her students during the school year.
