With its unique blend of IB expertise, a genuinely international community and educational pathways spanning school, university preparation and teacher development, St Clare’s offers a powerful platform for shaping the future of international education. Its next Principal/CEO will have the opportunity to turn that breadth into greater global reach, building new partnerships, opening new pathways and demonstrating what education across borders can achieve. The new Principal/CEO will be following five years of outstanding service from Duncan Reith who is moving to Shanghai to become Principal at YK Pao High School. Founded in 1953 by Anne Dreydel OBE and Pamela Morris, St Clare’s, Oxford began as a centre for foreign students with the core mission of using education to foster international reconciliation and peace. Today, the College continues to uphold its founders’ legacy by offering diverse international educational programmes to students from over 50 countries.
