Alexander Taylor teaches lower school Spanish at St. Francis School.  In 2004, Mr. Taylor and his family moved to Louisville from the Boston area where they lived since 1995.

Mr. Taylor is from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where he grew up in a bilingual household. Through high school and college he returned to San Miguel on summer and winter breaks, studying art and music at the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes, and working for the family business. After college, Mr. Taylor lived and worked in Mexico City for a small design firm. In 1996, (in part due to the catastrophic earthquake that affected Mexico City) he left that city and attended the Yale Summer Program in Graphic Design, in Brissago, Switzerland.

When not teaching Spanish at St. Francis, Mr. Taylor devotes his time to his two children (also at St. Francis), and his passion to the visual arts. He is a studio artist, and holds a BFA from Arizona State University and a MFA from Yale University.

Before becoming a Spanish teacher, Mr. Taylor worked as a graphic designer in New York City and New England. His last job in design was with Simon & Schuster in Boston, where he helped design and develop an elementary school Spanish literature program. Before that, his work as a freelance designer allowed him to teach at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and Parsons School of Design in New York City.

A love of teaching began for Mr. Taylor while assistant teaching at Yale and, though he now teaches Spanish instead of design, his love of teaching continues. He especially enjoys working with elementary- and middle school-aged children.
