Genavive Edman

Genavive Edman serves as President of Coeur du Christ Academy in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Genavive was a member of a parent group that led the effort to create the first private, classical high school in the Catholic tradition in North Idaho. With the support of JPGI, they opened September 2022. Prior to serving Coeur du Christ, Genavive founded her own marketing and web design company while founding several services for fellowship and familial support in Christian/Catholic communities including Cabrini Co-Op (a university style hybrid co-op) serving over 100 children in need of integrated classical education. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Gonzaga University’s School of Business with a minor in Philosophy and earned a full-ride scholarship in Division 1 golf. She also served in various capacities at Students for Life, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Catholic Studies. 

Genavive's zeal for the faith and desire to accompany the youth in knowing, loving and serving Him in this life prompted our Institute to utilize her skills on the JPGI Advisory Team.
