Very pleased to share that I’ve been featured in the March edition of International Schools Magazine for a piece I originally published back in 2019; it feels as relevant as ever. https://consiliumeducation.com/itm/2026/02/18/march-2026/

A big thank you to Andy Homden Holdem from Consilium Education for including me.

“International education is a developing concept, still evolving in both theory and practice.”  Thompson & Hayden

“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” John Dewey

“The principal goal of education is to create men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done.” Jean Paiget

“There is more in us than we know if we could be made to see it; perhaps, for the rest of our lives, we will be unwilling to settle for less.”  Kurt Hahn
