Dear Parents and Students,
It is with great excitement that I write to you as the new Head of Elementary School at the International American School of Warsaw. I am truly delighted to have the opportunity to lead our Elementary School and to work with our wonderful students, dedicated teachers and supportive families.
One of the strengths of IAS is the combination of our truly international character with a strong commitment to inclusion and a sense of belonging. Our students come from many different countries, cultures and backgrounds, bringing their own experiences, languages, perspectives and individual strengths into our classrooms. We want every child, regardless of their background or individual learning needs, to feel welcome, valued and supported as an important member of our school community. I believe that this diversity and inclusive approach enrich our students’ education, allowing children to learn not only from their teachers, but also from one another.
I have been working at IAS for the past three years as an EAL and Language Acquisition teacher, Social Studies teacher and Homeroom teacher, working with students from the early primary years through Grade 7. My experience in education, together with my previous career in the financial sector, has given me a broad professional perspective and taught me the value of high standards, responsibility and communication. As a mother of two teenage daughters, I also understand the trust parents place in a school and how important it is for every child not only to progress academically, but also to feel understood, valued and cared for.
As I begin my new role, these values will be at the heart of my work. My priorities for the 2026/2027 academic year are not only to further strengthen the quality of teaching and learning, but also to support the well-being and happiness of our students and build an even stronger partnership between students, parents and teachers. At the heart of these priorities is a simple goal: I want our students to enjoy coming to school, feel that they belong here and be proud to be part of IAS. I believe that children learn best when they feel happy, safe and supported.
I am very much looking forward to the year ahead and to working together with our students, families and teachers. I look forward to welcoming both returning and new students and families to IAS and to making the 2026/2027 school year one of learning, growth, positive experiences and a strong sense of community for all of us.
