About Me
Welcome to my studio! I am passionate about education and creativity. With over 20 years of teaching experience, I offer a unique and fun learning environment for children to grow and explore their potential. My focus on academics and the arts allows me to provide a well-rounded education that helps children reach their God-given potential. Join me and let's learn and create together!
Hello! I'm Angela Esselburn.
I have been a teacher for as long as I can remember. I began teaching Pre-K Sunday School when I was in high school and my love for teaching continued. Over 20 years later, I am still teaching, learning, and exploring my creative side.
I have been married for 7 years and in 2023 I decided to homeschool my two daughters and taught 6 additional students from my home. It was a huge step for me to leave my public school career but it was so rewarding. In addition, I branched out and gained experience teaching art for the Fort Wayne Park District and Parkview YMCA for both children and adults. Since I have a valid teaching license, I became a tutoring ESA provider.
My vision for this studio is to be an educational but fun place for children to grow. Academics and the arts help children explore and reach their God-given potential.

Testimonials
Abundant Grace Academy is a wonderful partnership with our homeschool, allowing us to accomplish more than I could alone. I love what my kids are learning there!
Danielle M, mom of Melina 10 and Matias 13
“Abundant Grace was our saving grace this last school year. My girls both have some difficulties and Mrs. Esselburn worked with us to make sure their first year back in a school setting was a success.
"Abundant Grace has made such a difference in my son's life. He's made great progress in his education. Mrs. Esselburn is very patient with him, and understands where he needs more support. I'm very thankful for her."
