Dr Jeff Aitken has been appointed as the new Head of School at St. Michaels University School.

Following a global search by our recruitment consultant partners at Perrett-Laver and the dedicated efforts of our Head of School Search Committee, finalist candidates engaged in a rigorous three-day evaluation process. This included conversations with our Senior Leadership Team, students, the Board Chair, Vice Chair, Chair of Facilities, Treasurer, and two intensive interviews with the Search Committee. We had the privilege of choosing from an exceptionally qualified pool of candidates, each bringing extensive educational leadership experience. Ultimately, the Board unanimously chose Jeff Aitken as the individual best suited to lead SMUS into the future.

Jeff joins us with an impressive background in educational leadership that spans continents.  His global outlook and perspective on education stood out as significant strengths, making him an excellent choice for our, multi-cultural, international school community.

I look forward to engaging with members of the community to build on the strengths that have made SMUS what it is today, as well as looking to the future and all that the school can be!
