New Summit Academy is excited to welcome Yannick Pilgrim as our new teacher of English Literature, Composition, and Creative Writing. Before landing at NSA, Yannick’s journey as a student-athlete took him from his homeland of Trinidad and Tobago to the US where he attended The Hotchkiss School in Connecticut prior to completing his undergraduate degree at Davidson College.
An impactful study abroad experience brought Yannick to Costa Rica in 2010. After graduating from Davidson College, he returned to Costa Rica to teach English and pursue his MA in Teaching English as a Foreign Language at the University of Costa Rica.

Yannick strives to create classes that make literature more relatable so that students become more self-motivated when dealing with more challenging texts and tasks.
Yannick firmly believes in working closely with colleagues to create interdisciplinary projects that facilitate the consolidation of students’ knowledge and skills. He also often incorporates his passion for the outdoors, sports, film, and food into his daily lessons.
Welcome, Yannick, we are looking forward to having you as part of the academic team and the NSA family!
