Miss Ximena Cuervo To All Instructors

My name is Ximena Cuervo, and I am the Physical Education teacher at ACE! I've been an alternative educator in a wide range of subjects, including action sports, science, and engineering, since 2023. I received my Master’s in Environmental Engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, and a Bachelor’s in Sustainable Environmental Design from the University of California, Berkeley. Currently, I am a science educator and a surfing/skateboarding coach with the homeschool co-op educational program, Surf Skate Science, as well as a hands-on math instructor at Casa Ranch Montessori HomeSchool Cooperative.

As a dedicated fitness enthusiast with a lifelong passion for physical well-being, I believe that staying active is not just about exercise—it's about fostering a healthy, balanced lifestyle that lasts a lifetime. Over the years, I’ve explored various fitness disciplines, from strength training to surfing, and developed a deep understanding of how movement can benefit the body, mind, and soul.

I strongly believe that our bodies are living temples, and that taking care of them is a way of honoring the gifts God has given us. As I walk in faith, I acknowledge that Jesus wants us to care for our bodies and live in a way that glorifies Him—through good health, strength, and discipline. This belief drives my passion for fitness and fuels my desire to help others cultivate a healthy, Christ-centered lifestyle.

My goal as a Physical Education Coach is to inspire kids to discover the joy of being active, while teaching them the fundamentals of fitness and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. By combining my enthusiasm for fitness with a nurturing, encouraging approach, I’m committed to helping kids develop not only their athletic skills but also their confidence, resilience, and overall well-being. I’m excited to guide the next generation of young students on their journey to becoming strong, healthy, and happy individuals, all while understanding the deeper purpose of caring for the body that God has blessed them with.
