Fabulous faculty who really know my daughter and strive to develop her strengths and help develop her independence so that she will succeed after she leaves this wonderful environment." - Upper School parent
Teachers are our greatest asset.
At Cape Cod Academy, each of our faculty brings more than just knowledge to their classrooms. They bring compassion, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to the growth and well-being of our students. They inspire curiosity in the youngest learners, guide our middle schoolers through their formative years, and prepare our upper school students for the challenges of college and the world beyond these walls.
And they do all of this not just with intellect, but with the biggest of hearts.
In hallways, classrooms, studios, and on athletic surfaces, you will witness moments of quiet encouragement and sparks of discovery, and you’ll smile at the small, thoughtful gestures that make a student feel known and valued.
Faculty are at the core of our school. Their dedication to our school shapes the culture of academic excellence that defines Cape Cod Academy. Indeed, they are our greatest asset!
Jamin was introduced to clay at a young age by her late grandfather Harry Holl and other family members at Scargo Pottery and Art Gallery. She moved to Vermont after high school to attend Johnson State College where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Art Education. Shortly after, she became an Art Educator at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School. During her time there she instructed Intro to Ceramics, Advanced Ceramics, and Sculpture classes. Jamin left D-Y after seven years when her twin girls were born and opened The Clay Cup in Osterville, MA. As owner operator she conducted small instructional throwing and hand-building classes, paint your own pottery workshops, and private lessons. Jamin has also taught clay enrichment classes at the West Villages Elementary School in Marstons Mills, MA. In 2016 she has started working at Barnstable Pottery as an apprentice to her uncle Kevin Nolan. Also, in 2016 she joined the great team of art teachers at The Cultural Center of Cape Cod. Jamin’s passions include the art of throwing on the wheel, as well as slab work, carving, drawing, working with children and lately she has been spending time making ceramic jewelry, experimenting with gold and silver lusters, and playing with beautiful glazes. She is proud to be helping to keep Harry Holl’s legacy alive through teaching and creating.
