  WonderTree Community of Co-learners

  Aug 2017 - Jul 2020

  CEO & Founder (I.N.S.P.I.R.E.D. Approach)

  Minds are most curious in these important foundation years. The years where children take their first steps in life: physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. These years lay the foundation for who they will become. My aim is to work with the parents, educators and community together to lay the foundation for curious, imaginative, creative, compassionate, caring and resilient young learners who take every challenge in stride; confident young learners ready to take the next step into the wider world. I developed an I.N.S.P.I.R.E.D Approach to education that builds from the essential framework of knowledge, skills, imagination, positive behaviors and learning dispositions to create an inspirational environment based on the co-learner concept that empowers individuals in their relationships with each other. This will allow learners of all ages to meaningfully connect, unfold their limitless potential, and inspire others to make the world a better place.Check out our charity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOANH1y8J-0 Show less

We nurture belonging and foster the importance of becoming a caring leader who takes responsibility for decisions towards a sustainable world.We are a culturally diverse community, with students and families representing over 30 nationalities. The word “global citizen” by us is not a buzzword, it is a characteristic that unfolds within each student from preschool to secondary school.To accomplish this, we offer a rare combination that includes programs based on the latest educational research in neuroscience, the Berlin state curriculum (prepares for the German Abitur), and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program which equips our lifelong learners to study at home or abroad and beyond.During my time at SIS Berlin, I was successful in steering us through the pandemic with all its personal and logistical challenges.
