Paul has more than 30 years experience working for international schools. Most recently he was Head of The Royal School Armagh for 15 years where he nurtured a strong culture of continuous improvement and self-evaluation, which has resulted in highly innovative approaches to whole-child education, personalised learning and service-learning. The management and leadership of this school is graded as “outstanding” by the Education and Training Inspectorate.
Paul has held leadership and teaching positions at prestigious schools across Europe and Africa, namely Aiglon College in Switzerland, the British International School, Cairo, Egypt and Gordonstoun School in Scotland.
As former chair of the Headmasters' & Headmistresses' Conference Irish Division, a professional association of heads of the world's leading independent schools, and a former international schools accreditation chair for the Council of International Schools, Paul has been extensively involved in educational development at all levels in K-12 co-educational schools.
A fluent French speaker, Paul holds a Master’s degree from the University of Bath in International School Educational Management and Administration.
When it comes to finding the right school, there are countless data sources to explore. You can pore over the school’s test scores and university destinations, websites, and social media in search of signs that this could be the place.
But some soul-searching is also needed into your own aspirations. What is it, precisely, that you want for your child, beyond vague aims of them being “happy and successful”? It’s a daunting question, and requires reflection around your ideas about learning, community and perhaps even the nature of a meaningful life.
At Nord Anglia Education schools, we encourage our students not only to learn foreign languages but to think, feel, and experience the world through them. Many of our schools around the world, from the United States to Switzerland and from Vietnam to China, offer a world-class bilingual education.
Bilingualism—the ability to communicate fluently in two languages—helps children learn and grow. At our schools, we understand being bilingual helps students truly excel because it boosts their thinking skills, improves decision-making, and enhances communication. Plus, it helps them appreciate other cultures on a deeper level.
Read on for a closer look at all the benefits of bilingualism.
