![]() During my time as Director of Upper School for the International Track, I watched our Upper School numbers double in 3 years. My career evolved with the growth of the school. When a job change took my husband to Boston, I found a small French/English bilingual school in the heart of Cambridge where I helped grow the school by leading the effort to bring the IB Diploma Program to an Upper School that I also helped to found. That school adopted the IB Diploma Program in the early 1990s and my passion was ignited with its introduction. suburbs, a school committed to helping students breach national boundaries for a more internationally minded perspective. My first position was teaching French in a private school in the D.C. and realizing that the writing, training and management I was doing would translate well to helping students broaden their learning horizons. I got into teaching after working in non-profit administration in Washington, D.C. I loved living in Paris, studying and pursuing knowledge in a way that broadened my understanding of the world. At the same time, I majored in French with a concentration in rhetorical criticism (a blend of classical rhetoric, writing and public speaking and group communication courses). Growing up in a small Midwestern college town afforded me the opportunity to value the pursuit of learning and the exploration of cultures outside my own, it wasn’t until college that I got to live abroad and make plans for a master’s degree in French literature. International education seemed to be my calling very early in my life, starting with my desire at age 8 to learn French. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far. Today we’d like to introduce you to Tracey Wood. ![]()
