Meet the Head of Georgia School

As the world of education continues to evolve, the role of head of an international school has become more multifaceted than ever. The days when being a top teacher was the only requirement for a principal have long passed. Today, heads of schools must possess unique qualities that go beyond teaching, including strong leadership ability, innovative thinking, a growth-oriented mindset and the ability to identify and attract top-quality teaching and learning talent. Among the group of leaders who exemplify these qualities is Mr. Cavon Ahangarzadeh, the esteemed Head of Georgia School and its founding principal.

When it comes to the success of any school, there is a crucial element that stands out above all else - the teachers. I am immensely proud of our teachers whom I consider to be "the heart of all great schools." These are the teachers who go above and beyond, who create engaging and inclusive classrooms, who inspire students to reach their full potential, and who cultivate a culture of respect, kindness, and lifelong learning. It is through their dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to excellence that we are able to fulfill our aim of not just strengthening academics, but also nurturing character.  Hence, finding the right type of teacher for our school is a top priority, and we invest significant time and energy in identifying truly "great" teachers. We look for teachers who not only have the right credentials and qualifications, but who also possess a genuine love for children and a passion for teaching. 

As an educator, I firmly believe that being a principal goes beyond just managing a school. It is a calling that requires a deep love for children, learning, education, and working with families. Education, unlike any other sector, plays a critical role in shaping the future of society. As principals, we must carefully consider who is involved in this process and how we implement our vision. We are not just administrators, but also advocates and supporters of every student, regardless of their grades or behavior.
