Mr. Peter Blankenship

Peter Blankenship is an experienced classical math teacher. He has taught Dialectic Mathematics at The Academy of Classical Christian Studies, training 6th–8th grade students to wonder at the truth, goodness, and beauty of God’s creation through mathematics. He taught in both hybrid and five-day formats, building strong home–school partnership through regular parent communication. He has also mentored and tutored students in grades 6–10. He enjoys helping students move from “I’m not a math person” to confident, attentive problem-solvers.

Peter holds a B.A. in Religious Studies with a minor in Mathematics, along with graduate degrees in theology and biblical geography. He and his family live in Des Moines, Iowa, and are active parishioners at St. George Greek Orthodox Church. When he’s not teaching, he and his two daughters and one son enjoy cooking, hiking, canoeing, doing projects around their old house, and working in the garden.
