Lisa Swieson

Lisa Swieson graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a B.A. in biology, with a concentration in genetics. She went on to do research at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, studying vision loss in older people. After three years, Lisa left the college to care for her first child, who recently graduated from Cornerstone.

Lisa and her husband, Dana, now have four children and have been homeschooling all of them since birth. She has been teaching music and science classes to homeschooled students since 1998. Lisa started the Greater Philadelphia Homeschool Science Fair in 1999 and is one of the founders of Science Resources, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving K-12 science education. Although teaching science is Lisa’s passion, she also enjoys gardening and being a part of her church’s worship team.

We know she will bring challenging, exciting science classes to our students here at Cornerstone!
