Dr. Satterly has served as Headmaster of Westminster Academy in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, since 2016. Before coming to South Florida, Dr. Satterly had been the head of a school for more than two decades across five schools in several major markets.

Dr. Satterly was also the president of Christian Schools of Florida, where he was a colleague and friend of the late Dr. Ken Wackes, the executive director of CSF and headmaster of Westminster Academy for 32 years.

His professional roles have provided a range of experiences and opportunities for interacting with diverse people and settings, which have impacted his view of the kingdom and the significance of Christian education, giving him a deep passion for the gospel, worldview development, and developing leadership in others.

Dr. Satterly grew up in Lexington, Kentucky, and after college, served in the United States Army. He graduated from Officer Candidate School and completed his time in the service as a captain in armor.

His dissertation, “Constructing an Effective Biblical Worldview: The Significance of the Christian Day School,” was the basis for much of the Westminster Academy Worldview Institute. He is an Eagle Scout and a Van Lunen fellow.

He and his wife, Carol, have been married for 30 years. They have three children—Margaret Brewer married to Christopher, Kassandra Reardon married to Scott, and Timothy married to Tess. They also have two grandsons, Carson and Blake.

Mr. Shawn Minks is enjoying his 11th year leading Cambridge Christian school after serving for six years as Headmaster at Foundation Academy in Winter Garden, FL.
