Jak Kearney

Head and CEO

Sotogrande International School, Spain

I am an experienced Leader within Education. The core to my philosophy of education is inspiration. I believe that a school should strive to inspire every learner that comes into the classroom to believe in their talents, apply their abilities and reap the rewards of learning. Inclusivity is important and I feel that as a member of an educational establishment no learner should ever be left out in the cold; we must motivate all learners. We must work hard to find ways to allow each learner to meet their potential, and even exceed their apparent potential. Being flexible around learning styles, adaptable to individual needs and focussed on the process of learning means that those in our care can grow into well-rounded citizens of the world. As a team player, I believe firmly in synergy; the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Together we can achieve a greater feat than working alone. I believe in transparency, honesty and trust. If we aim high, have open channels of communication, mutual respect and trust then any goal is achievable at any level.
