Ashley Beaman

St. Andrew’s School Principal

Originally from New Castle, Pennsylvania, Ashley Beaman graduated from Waynesburg University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary and Special Education. After graduating, Ashley worked with and directed a Christian non-profit organization centered on reaching at-risk children and youth with the gospel through an after-school program, along with other youth and family ministry programs for 5 years. Ashley spent a year working at a Residential Treatment Facility for women and then started working towards her Biblical Counseling Certification in Indiana before coming to Wears Valley Ranch as a mentor in 2018. Ashley had been praying for God to lead her to a place that had the components of education, residential ministry, and biblical counseling with children, so working at Wears Valley Ranch was a specific answer to those prayers!

Ashley served as a mentor and interim houseparent at WVR for two years, and then transitioned into teaching and administrative duties at SAS under the former school principal. Ashley stepped into the open role of School Administrator and has functioned as the Principal under the SAS Head of School since 2021.

“Living and serving at Wears Valley Ranch has been an absolute privilege!”
