    Bio
     
    “??I inspire greatness by bringing multiple decades of teaching experience and a wealth of tried-and-true strategies and methodologies to the classroom. My students are motivated to learn mathematics in an atmosphere filled with wonder, joy, humor, warmth, teamwork, diligence and compassion. I embrace the liberating academic freedom, exceptional collegiality, and scholarly intensity of the LJCDS learning community. I delight in working with the greatest faculty, staff, students and parents in San Diego.”

    Dave Schall graduated with high honors from the University of California, Davis, with a Bachelor of Science in mathematics in 1983. After earning his California State Teaching Credential at San Diego State University, he taught for 18 years at Oceanside High School. Since 2003, Mr. Schall has spent all or parts of his tenure at LJCDS as a teacher, academic league coach, mathematics department chair, senior and sophomore class dean, grade-level coordinator, Upper School registrar, and assistant to the director of service learning.
     
    Mr. Schall has been married to his wife, Kim, since 1986, and they have raised five wonderful adult children: Amy, Zach, Alex, and twins Emily and Sarah. Their fur baby, Beesly, is a boisterous and mischievous chocolate lab. Mr. Schall and Kim are proud grandparents of a baby girl, Rhea Louise Salmon. With the addition of Rhea, the Schall home continues to burst at the seams with activity, joy, craziness and laughter.
