The Escuela Bilingüe Internacional Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the appointment of Jon Fulk as EBI’s new head of school. Fulk, who currently heads the primary school of the American School Foundation in Mexico City, will assume his new role in the 2008/09 calendar school year.

Jon Fulk, originally from Ohio, has spent the past 11 years living in Mexico City, Mexico. Since 2000 he has worked at The American School Foundation (ASF), first as a teacher, then an assistant Head and finally as Head of the Lower School, overseeing approximately 940 students, 700 families and 98 full-time faculty and staff. Jon holds a B.A. in history from The University of Toleldo, an M.A. in Student Affairs Administration from Michigan State University, an M.A. in Elementary Education from The University of Alabama and expects to complete his doctorate in Education Policy and Administration from the University of Minnesota. Jon brings extensive experience with IB’s Primary Years Programme (PYP) and has been instrumental in leading his school through the accreditation and restructuring process.

In his own words:

"When I began talking with and meeting members of the EBI community, I was thoroughly convinced that EBI would be a place for me to learn, grow and contribute. EBI families are fortunate to belong to a community where people have come together to bring to life their hopes, dreams and beliefs for the best education for their children. I share their passion for a bilingual, inquiry-based education and feel privileged to be joining the EBI community this summer."
