Mari-Ann Kass

Mari-Ann first came to ISE as a student in 2009 and considers it a life-changing experience that shaped her understanding of what learning could be like. Studying medicine & biochemistry only briefly, she returned to education and has by now worked in three different international schools in administrative & supporting roles. 

Her motivation springs from wanting to ensure that students are met with support in times of stress and difficulty, comfort in times of sadness, the feeling that they can rise to the occasion of any challenge, no matter how daunting, and dedication from brilliant teachers who become role models for life, helping them reach their full potential. 

Having three small children takes away a lot of free time, but the little she has Mari-Ann divides between an array of interests ranging from singing, sewing, writing and painting to badminton and of course, horseback riding.
