We are proud to announce the appointment of Mr. Malcolm McKenzie to our Advisory Committee, bringing with him a remarkable legacy of global school leadership and a deep commitment to educational excellence. A South African by origin, Mr. McKenzie pursued his studies at the Universities of Cape Town, Oxford, and Lancaster, earning degrees in Literature, Philosophy, and Applied Linguistics. He is a former Rhodes Scholar, having held the scholarship at both Oxford and Lancaster.
Mr. McKenzie began his career in academia as a university lecturer, but quickly found his calling in school leadership. Over the past three decades, he has served as Principal of four distinguished institutions: Maru-a-Pula School in Botswana, the United World College of the Atlantic in Wales, The Hotchkiss School in Connecticut (USA), and Keystone Academy in Beijing, where he pioneered an East-West approach to education. He was also honored as the first Bicentennial Fellow at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts. Recently, he has been the Interim Head at the United World College in Japan, and the American International School of Lagos.
An influential figure in international education, Mr. McKenzie has served on the board of the Round Square Association, a network of around 250 schools worldwide committed to experiential education and global citizenship. In 1997, he co-founded the Global Connections Foundation, a confederation of innovative schools, and served as its Director until recently.
Mr. McKenzie is not only a strategic leader but also a thoughtful writer and reflective educator.
Despite his administrative roles, he remains a hands-on school leader who deeply values time spent with students and classroom learning. His commitment to nurturing character, curiosity, and critical thinking has shaped generations of learners across the world.
We are honored to welcome Mr. McKenzie to our Advisory Committee. His wisdom, experience, and global perspective will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our mission and vision for education in a rapidly changing world. Please join us in warmly welcoming him to our school community.
