Chris brings with him a clear vision and a deep commitment to nurturing a holistic educational environment that promotes excellence, empathy, and innovation. His overarching goal is to empower every student to unlock their full potential and become confident, compassionate, and responsible global citizens.

He believes that by nurturing strong moral character, we can equip our students to face the challenges of the world with compassion and resilience.
