Dear ISB Community,
Please find some news below related to administrative positions at ISB.
HS Principal Search
HS Principal Philip Bradley, who has been with ISB for 8 years and has had a considerable positive influence on the High School and school as a whole, will be leaving ISB to become the Head of School at The Swiss International School of Qatar beginning in July 2017. This is a significant accomplishment for Philip as he was the top choice following a worldwide search for a really exciting role as founding Head. In Philip’s own words, “As we looked for a new challenge it became increasingly clear that the Head of School position in Doha was the right fit since in many respects there can be no comparison with ISB. The school building is in the final weeks of completion and my appointment is their first staffing decision. The opportunity to build an international school from day one is a rare one, that is both exciting and challenging”.
We wish Philip and his family all the very best and thank him wholeheartedly for his many contributions to ISB.
The HS Principal position was tentatively posted last month with ISS and it is now listed as a firm opening (please click here). We will begin interviewing candidates shortly and will be in touch again in due course.
Deputy Head of School/CFO Announcement
I am very pleased to announce that Marc de Vries has been appointed to the position of Deputy Head/CFO beginning July 2017.
Of the 24 applicants that applied for the position through Search Associates, four made the final shortlist. Dr. Costessi, Mr. Scott and I conducted interviews (two per candidate), while the Search Associates consultant also conducted interviews and completed reference checks.
On completion of the process, it was clear to us that Mr. De Vries was unequivocally the best candidate for the position. We look forward very much to working with Mr. De Vries in the years ahead.
Sincerely,
Dr. Andrew Davies
