SSIS is led by a diverse group of people from 10 different countries who all have extensive experience in management coupled with a passion for education. While teachers are at the forefront of students’ education, the Core Leadership Team (CLT) works behind the scenes on curriculum development, delivering modern best practices in education and ensuring the smooth day-to-day operations of the school.
David SHIRLEY
Head of School
I have been an educator for almost 30 years. For the last 15 years I have held leadership roles in international schools in Hong Kong SAR and Beijing. My goal is to help develop the unique character of SSIS students through education. This is the character they will spend their lifetime sharpening and developing so that they make their own positive contribution to our global community.
I feel privileged to be Head of SSIS. My alignment with the school’s philosophy, values and mission is the reason I have joined SSIS. To truly make a difference in a global school community is a unique gift. This journey is something I look forward to celebrating with the wider school community, as together we support our future leaders, creators and thinkers.
