Welcome from Head of School

Kazakhstan International School is a special place. When I first walked into the school I felt a sense of community, a sense of awe and a sense of wonder. As I spent my time looking through the school, I learned that those qualities are permanent fixtures in the school.

The students are courteous and courageous, the teachers are passionate and engaging, and the parents are supportive and welcoming. It was for these reasons I chose to join KIS.  

This year represents my 22nd in education, my 18th as an IB educator, and my 11th as a senior leader, and I am excited to bring that experience to Almaty to build on the foundations described above. As Head of School, I will make myself available - not only to listen to parents - but to partner with them to help KIS serve their children better.
