Welcome

I’ve been the Head of School for Académie Lafayette since the 2012–2013 school year. During that time we have successfully opened a second and third campus, added a third language for our middle school students, conducted a major Capital Campaign, built a six-classroom addition at our Cherry campus and replaced our aging heating system at the Oak campus. We implemented the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme for our middle school, built a secure entry and office addition for the Oak campus, and we opened a high school beginning fall 2020. Our relentless focus is to provide a world-class education for our students in order to better prepare them to be change agents and global leaders.

The dedication of our parents, faculty, staff, and the community as we tackle these projects has been amazing. Each challenge, no matter how difficult, is met with a spirit of determination and anticipation.

There is also a spirit of generosity. Every year I am more and more amazed at the generosity of our families who give so much of their time volunteering as part of the PTO, the Evening in Paris gala committee, or for special school initiatives, such as reading intervention. Our families give pop-tops for Ronald McDonald House, medical supplies for a clinic in Jamaica, food for Harvesters, socks and mittens for Veterans, and coins for the Kansas City Medicine Cabinet. The time, talent, and treasure they so generously give is an example for their children and makes our school, our city, and the world a better place.
