Meet our Staff
Ms. Angelyn Dodson
Founder/Principal, Middle & High School Teacher
Ms. Dodson founded Westminster Academy in February of 2021. She grew up in a household where education was a central focus, and fell in love with reading and learning from a very young age. She received her first degree in liberal arts in 2014, her second degree in English & philosophy in 2016, and is currently working on a master's degree in literature.
Ms. Dodson has held a variety of education jobs over the last 6 years, but none of them was quite what she was looking for - so she decided to create what she had in mind! She started the academy with the goal of providing the most exceptional, well-rounded, and individualized educational experience possible to students of all backgrounds. Along the way, she has met so many students & parents, teachers, and other people who have become such blessings in her life. Additionally, running the school has allowed her to pursue her passions of business development & nonprofit work.
Ms. Dodson lives in Birdsboro with her family. In her spare time, she goes to the gym, reads as much as possible, cooks & bakes, and volunteers for a local food bank as well as a literacy program.

In her free time, Ms. Stump loves reading, crocheting, and crime shows.

MR. Ben Dodson
BIBLE
Mr. Dodson’s academic interests are in church history and doctrine as well as theology. He works full-time in construction, but he volunteers his time at Westminster Academy once a week to share his knowledge of the Word with our middle and high school students. He is also quick to throw a football at recess, quiz the students on their math facts, or be a supportive audience to any of the kids who want to share their writing or artwork with him.
