TLP: Kevin Dunning, Hong Kong International School
Few schools around the world have gained a reputation for excellence like Hong Kong International School. Situated in the hub of commerce between east and west, it’s not surprising that the residents of Hong Kong would demand such a school.

Lessons From The Best
For many of us in international education the new school year is already upon us. For some of you diehard holiday lovers this might come with a little dread, but hopefully as an educator you feel at least a little excitement at the beginning of a new school year.

This practice has led to the rise of interim heads, which helps keep the school running and provides some...
TLP: Kevin Bartlett, The International School of Brussels
What comes to mind when you think of Belgium? Chocolates, waffles, or beer? Maybe Brussels sprouts. For someone, like myself, who has worked in SE Asia most of my career, Belgium seems like a far off exotic place where trains arrive on time, the streets are clean, and it gets cold enough to wear a sweater. After my talk with Kevin Bartlett, Head of School at the International School of Brussels, it might be more accurate to think...

The culmination of The Leadership Project, The Leadership Symposium will be a candid Q&A style discussion for all school leaders. Tim Carr from Jakarta International School and Jim Koerschen from Concordia Shanghai, have generously volunteered to participate...
