Mattias and his wife, Katheryn, live with their four children in Hamilton, Virginia. Three of their kids attend Good Shepherd School, including his oldest who was one of the original eleven students in the school’s first year. 

His family is originally from Santiago, Chile, and while born here, he was raised in a bi-lingual household. He is a graduate of the Heights School in Potomac, MD (where he took four years of Latin and two of Greek), has his BA in History from the College of William and Mary, his MA in Moral Theology from Christendom and his JD from George Mason University. 

Mattias has taught in a variety of settings including The American School in Switzerland, and since 2014 has taught at the Well-Trained Mind Academy, where he is the chair of the History, Social Sciences, and Electives Department. His current course load includes logic-stage Early Modern and Modern History, and rhetoric-level Government, Economics, Life Skills, Philosophy and Ethics, and Kinesiology and Nutrition. In addition, he still practices law part-time in estate planning and small corporate advising, including Catholic higher education and non-profit institutions. 

He and his wife have been involved in founding several charitable activities and educational ventures. Most recently, Mattias established the Saint Thomas More Guild for Catholic Legal Professionals in the Diocese of Arlington. Katheryn will soon be received as a Physician’s Assistant from Shenandoah University this coming December. 

In their spare time, the Caro family loves to garden, watch travel videos, and debate when to get a new family pet.
