At British International School of Boston, we’re proud to attract the highest quality teachers in the world, who arrive with extensive international experience from the UK, US, and other countries.
In fact, all BISB teachers hold UK Qualified Teacher Status, which shows, as part of their training, that they know how to deliver differentiated lessons — personalizing the classroom experience to your child’s individual interests, needs, and goals, no matter where they start in their journey.
It’s a pleasure to join the British International School of Boston. I join the BISB community most recently from my 14-year tenure in Chicago, where I first served as a math teacher and was then appointed as the Head of Secondary in 2013.
I graduated from university with a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from Warwick University; I also completed a PGCE in Secondary Mathematics from Sheffield University, and I’ve completed a Master’s in International Education from King’s College London.
I grew up in Sheffield, England on the edge of the Peak District and enjoyed rock climbing and mountain biking. After I graduated from university, I spent a year working in industry before I decided to retrain and become a teacher. I worked in schools in the north of England before joining the Nord Anglia sister school of the British International School of Chicago, South Loop in the summer of 2007. I’m most excited to continue my journey within the Nord Anglia family of schools as the Deputy Head of School in Boston, working with the amazing community of students, staff, and parents of Boston.
Aidan is the Head of the Middle and High School. He is responsible for the education of students from Year 7 through Year 13 (Grades 6–12). Since 2012, Aidan has worked in two Nord Anglia Education (NAE) schools, The British School of Guangzhou, China and the British School of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At our NAE schools, Aidan has held the role of a class teacher, the Head of English, Assistant Head of Secondary, Deputy Head of Secondary, and finally, as the Acting Head of Secondary.
Before his international move, Aidan worked in two schools in the UK, holding various leadership positions. Aidan has a BA from the University of Essex and a PGCE and MA from the University of Nottingham. Aidan has moved to Boston with his wife and his two dogs, Dexie and Walter.
Originally from Boston’s North Shore, I joined the British International School of Boston as the Finance Business Manager in 2016 with experience that comes from living and working overseas in Europe and Asia for many years.
With over 20 years of financial services industry experience at leading financial services corporations, my career has been specialized in international finance, taxation, human resources, and operations management with an extensive focus on strategic development for offshore start-ups and turnarounds, defining and implementing process improvement and change management in both US and international contexts.
I recently transitioned back to the US hoping to build on that strong foundation in education management. Combining my passion for education and business management, with the sheer variety of activity that this role entails and the stimulating challenges it poses, holds great appeal for me, as I strive for continuous improvement, innovation, and embracing change to meet the needs of the BISB community.
Outside of work, I’m active in my community and have served in a variety of leadership roles with the alumni associations of both Saint Michael’s College and the University of Notre Dame. I’m a member of the Junior League of Boston and active in local charity causes. Additionally, I volunteer my time for cancer research fundraising, participating in the Pan Mass Challenge for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the walk-a-thon for the North Shore Medical Center. Recently, I spent time volunteering in a healthcare clinic in Peru. It was certainly an eye-opener for appreciating and understanding healthcare systems. Being able to participate in triage, pre-op, and post-op care was a wonderful and insightful experience all-around, and most importantly, I enjoyed connecting with the local people. Our paths are different, but when they intersect, there is something to learn and compassion to share. My keen interests in swimming, photography, and cross-cultural experiences continue to fuel my eclectic spirit.
I have a great respect for education and am thrilled to be working for an organization leading the future for global education providing education to inspire and empower students to make the world a better place. There are so many opportunities available today, and I cannot think of a more abundant environment than the one students find themselves in at the British International School of Boston
