Our Team

At Korowal School, our dedicated and experienced teachers are storytellers at heart. With a deep passion for education, they share their own stories and retell the stories of others, weaving together ideas, perspectives, and journeys with their students in every lesson. This collaborative approach turns each classroom and daily routine into a unique storyline, enriched by language, music, and visual art, engaging and connecting students in meaningful ways.

Our community celebrates a rich diversity of individual perspectives, nurturing an environment that is open-minded, inclusive, and kind. At Korowal, we value the unique talents of each student, and our teachers mentor them by encouraging problem-solving, skill-building, and the dialogue necessary to effectively learn together. This approach fosters collaboration, creativity and supports the individual growth of each student.
