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 20th in education, my 16th as an IB educator and my 9th 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.

As Director of Kazakhstan International School, I wish to extend a warm welcome to all our new families. KIS is an amazing school and offers great learning experiences and opportunities to our students. We are committed to providing a quality education for our students that develops the whole child as a caring, open-minded and lifelong learner. It is an exciting time for new families to join KIS as we are growing and expanding our program. I am proud to be at KIS and look forward to the next year full of learning and new experiences!
