About Us
Founder’s aspiration
I have had a dream to build a well facilitated and resourceful school for the new generation in our country for the past 20 years. I have had this dream since I was 20 years old as I want to provide the opportunity that I never had to the young people. I have kept this dream alive and now it becomes a reality.
I came from a humble background but my heart is rich which I inherited from my parents. They wanted nothing but the best for me. Now that I, myself, am a parent, I truly know the hearts of parents in our country and their richest dreams and wishes for their children. This inspires me to implement my dream school. This is the birth story of our school, Leading Asia Myanmar International School, a loving environment for all our new generations.
Welcome Speech from LAMIS
Dear Parents,
It gives me great pleasure to introduce myself as the Director at Leading Asia Myanmar International School.
Since I first visited Myanmar just 3 over years ago I quickly fell in love with the country and its people. Rarely have I ever been made to feel so welcome and to experience such openness and welcoming hospitality as I do in Myanmar.
I am Australian and began my international career in Dubai. I have led schools and education projects in more than 20 different countries including the USA, India, China, Vietnam, Thailand, many parts of the Middle East and more recently Africa. I have led all major school curriculums but IB is without doubt the one that is my greatest passion.
What excites me most excited about Leading Asia Myanmar International School is the founders’ vision for creating the finest IB school in the region. Together we will create a school that prepares children for a rapidly changing world. It is a new world that requires children to be globally-minded, critical thinkers. We need children to be academically smart but also to be able to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.
We have outstanding teachers who put children at the centre of all they do. We have a close community that welcomes genuine connections between school management, teachers, and families. I look forward to meeting all of our wonderful families and to help ensure the pathways forward for our children are the very best they can be.
Your choice to educate your children at Leading Asian Myanmar International School is the best decision you could make for your children.
