Director's Desk

At the American School of Warsaw, we are committed to changing the world for the better, both through the actions of the community today and the work of our students throughout life...

Our core values describe how we inspire, learn, and teach in ways that these values become the cornerstones of character. In this way, our values serve both to describe us and offer an aspirational quality that defines and empowers our educational community.

At the American School of Warsaw, we are experts at transition, crafting pathways that ensure students build on prior success, close gaps when they emerge, and prepare for the next adventure, whether returning home, going further abroad, or making that final leap to colleges and universities around the world. With 50+ countries in our midst, this is a powerful and engaging challenge that we willingly embrace.

We stand by our documented academic success gleaned from a storied history, and a proud tradition of providing our students with unique opportunities in athleticsmusicdramadesigntechnology, and service-learning. We value our collaboration with top colleges and universities around the world, our welcoming and involved parent community, our purpose-built campus, and the world-class caliber of our globally recruited faculty and dedicated support staff.  

But above all, we are distinguished by our student ambassadors. They are culturally diverse, intelligent, enthusiastic, and grounded in integrity. They believe in the tenets of our core values. They tell the stories of their learning that often reach beyond the classroom, the school, and the community to bring positive change to the world.

I’m proud and incredibly thankful that my journey has led me to my current role in Poland as the Director of this amazing school. With my wife, an elementary teacher, and two graduated children,  we are all proud to be Warsaw Warriors!
