Idaho Arts Charter School
Karie Yost
  3rd/4th Grade Teacher



Greetings! I am Karie Yost and I teach 3rd/4th grade. This will be my 4th year at IACS. Not only do I recognize how lucky I am to teach here, but I feel very blessed to have my children attending school here as well.

Before coming to IACS, I taught in Homedale for 8 years. I started my adventurous teaching career as an extended resource room teacher. After becoming a mom, I moved into a 3rd grade classroom and then to 4th grade. When "little one-number 2" came along I became the full-time CEO of my household (AKA full-time diaper duty).

I loved being at home. Doing large amounts of laundry, cleaning toilets, dancing to Barney and making friends with the Teletubbies was so rewarding; but with the cost of Bon-Bons on the rise, I had to adventure back to work.

It was all of God's perfect timing that my baby would be starting full-time kindergarten and a teaching position was opening up. So here I am… I truly enjoy the students, families, and staff that I currently work with and have worked with at IACS!

Meet my wonderful family! First, there is my husband, Mike. We have been married for 13 years. Other than being a Vandal fan, he is a great guy! We have 2 girls. Karsyn is a 6th grader and Kendal is a 3rd grader. Our favorite times together include game nights, 4 wheeling, walking, bike rides, swimming, going to McCall and going out for ice cream.

I am a proud Boise State graduate. I received my BA in elem. education with an endorsement in special education. Since returning to teaching, I have enjoyed taking lots of continued education classes. Some of those classes include Arts Powered Schools, Drama in the Classroom, Integrating literature with dance, and Art Beyond the Classroom. I also attended the National Charter School Convention in New Orleans! I am currently working on my masters toward school counseling at NNU.

I look forward to a great year with all the wonderful IACS students and their families!
