Mehran & Joyce Akhtarkhavari

Mehran Akhtarkhavari’s experience as a teacher, principal and currently as the Head of an international school makes him uniquely qualified as an educator in the field of international education.  He has spent his primary & secondary years in an international school in India, and then completed his college and university education in North America. His 18 years as a teacher and administrator has given him the ability to relate to the issues of youth today as they strive to be citizens of the world. Mr. Akhtarkhavari’s experience in the IGCSE and IB curriculum is a great asset to the school and will help in leading the school to its next level of development.

In the interview process Mr. Akhtarkhavari said that: “I have come to the realization that a true education is not only academic excellence but must include the spiritual and moral development of the student.” The school community looks forward to August 2010 when he, and his wife Joyce, will join the Townshend community.
