Middle School Principal

In the Middle School at Branksome Hall Asia, we aim to inspire students to think reflectively as they acquire a growing sense of confidence and independence. This enables them to engage critically and creatively with the world around them as globally minded learners and leaders.

In the Middle School at BHA, these higher level critical skills of conceptual understanding, knowledge, and global attitudes are developed through innovative curriculum design. Students will develop complex problem solving skills, consider ethical decision making, and acquire an understanding of international perspectives.

We are dedicated to ensuring each student receives individualized support for intellectual, physical, social, and creative growth and development.
