Meet the Head of Senior School

Andrea has served our KCS community for the last 17 years. Recently announced as the Head of Senior School, Andrea is playing a lead role, working with the KCS Head of School Derek Logan, senior administration, the Board of Governors, and a large team of parents and staff, to make the KCS Senior School a reality. Previous positions at KCS include Assistant Head, Academics; Director of Curriculum; and teaching assignments that include French, science, art, and reading.

Since beginning her career in 1989, she has taught students from pre-school to high school at public and independent schools in Japan, Ottawa, and Toronto. Education, and realizing the potential in children and youth, are her evident lifelong passions. Her favourite moments are when students approach her with big ideas, leadership projects, business proposals, and ways to make KCS better. Supporting everything from grade 2 student-led dance parties to students building rocket launchers from scratch have helped fill her days.

Andrea's enthusiasm for KCS and the school's commitment to providing the best possible learning experience for our students have helped make for an abundance of stories - frequently blogged about - of innovation, improvement, and the wonders of developing great people.

Please contact our Head of Senior School, Andrea Fanjoy at AFanjoy@kcs.on.ca to learn more about our exciting vision for this generation of students.

For artists, scientists, inventors, schoolchildren, and the rest of us, intrinsic motivation—the drive to do something because it is interesting, challenging, and absorbing—is essential for high levels of creativity.
