VIS Expert Staff
Our passionate educators build strong bonds with students, parents, and the community, ensuring a nurturing environment for all.
Jacqueline Smith
Principal
My experience includes opening and leading international schools in Singapore, France, Hungary, China, Jordan, and the UAE — including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Ras Al Khaimah — as well as in my home country, the UK.
Throughout my teaching journey, I have taught French, Spanish, English, and ICT, and have held both academic and pastoral leadership positions across diverse educational contexts in the Middle East and beyond.
I am deeply committed to fostering breadth, challenge, and a holistic educational approach. I believe my role is to support, encourage, and empower every individual within our school community to reach their fullest potential.
I am equally passionate about building a nurturing and inclusive school culture. I place high value on strong partnerships between home and school, and welcome active involvement from parents and all stakeholders in the learning journey.
My door is always open, and I look forward to meeting you personally at the start of the upcoming academic year.
