Head of school's message

Welcome to Schutz American School! Schutz has a long and rich history of providing a well-rounded and rigorous education to our students.

Dear Schutz Community,

It is with great excitement and a deep sense of honor that I introduce myself as the new Head of School at Schutz American School. I am thrilled to join a community where the motto “Schutz is family!” is not just a phrase but a lived reality. Our school has a rich history of fostering a close-knit, inclusive environment that emphasizes the importance of each student’s individuality and potential.

At Schutz, we believe in progressive education that champions student advocacy and ownership of learning. Each student is unique, and our mission is to help them discover and pursue their passions. Our small school size allows us to get to know each one of our students and develop deep, meaningful relationships. This personalized approach enables us to deliver a tailored and individual learning experience that meets the needs and aspirations of every student.

Schutz American School is enriched by a globally diverse faculty. These educators bring a wealth of experience and viewpoints to our classrooms, fostering a rich learning environment. We also collaborate with dedicated local education professionals who share our values of progressive learning. Our entire staff is committed to continuous improvement, working together to refine their skills and knowledge. This collaborative spirit ensures we offer the most dynamic and effective learning experience possible.

As an accredited International Baccalaureate (IB) PYP and MYP school, we are committed to an internationally recognized, high-quality education. This rigorous curriculum prepares our students for success in a globalized world, fostering the skills and knowledge necessary for responsible global citizenship.

At Schutz American School, we recognize the immense value of the parent-teacher-student triangle. Parents play a crucial role in shaping their educational journey. By fostering a strong partnership between parents and educators, we create a powerful support system that empowers each student to thrive. This collaborative approach is the cornerstone of our educational philosophy. Through open communication and shared goals, we cultivate a vibrant and supportive community where everyone is actively invested in student success. This triangle ensures that students receive the best possible support from all angles, allowing them to reach their full potential.

We warmly invite you to reach out and learn more about our remarkable school. We are confident that once you experience the unique blend of academic excellence and familial support at Schutz, you will be eager to become a part of our family.

 

Sincerely,

 

Dr. Heather Naro
