Gretchen Sterba

Gretchen Sterba attended undergraduate and graduate school in Pittsburgh, PA. Her undergrad studies focused on ecology, working in the woods close by, the eco-regions of Costa Rica, and the wetlands of New Jersey. Through these experiences, she fell in love with hands-on learning. After graduating with a B.A. in Anthropology and concentrations in Chemistry and Ecology, she traveled and camped around the U.S., working with the U.S. Forest Service and various National Parks. A few years after completing her M.S. in Environmental Science and Management from Duquesne University, she decided to follow her passion of working with children and the natural world. She started working at a small Montessori school up the country road from her home in Ithaca, NY. She loved the focus on guide preparation and the hands-on learning Montessori provides each child. She joined Undercroft in 2017 after completing her Montessori Elementary I and II training through the CGMS. Two of her three children were enrolled at Undercroft that same year. She is happy to have found her way to Tulsa with her spouse, three children, and her extended family!​
