Wara González

Head of School

I am an educator with more than 30 years of experience in the field. As a licensed psychologist with a Master’s degree in Education and a postgraduate degree in Early Childhood, I believe that teaching is about inspiring young minds to achieve their intellectual and emotional potential through the acquisition of life skills and strategies for critical thinking.
