Reflecting on his past 13 years as Head of School at Frankfurt International School, Dr. Paul Fochtman can describe his experience in one word: gratitude. He thrives in providing strategic direction within complex scenarios and has put that passion into practice while navigating major shifts in the educational landscape – the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), for example.
Empathy and inclusiveness are at the heart of Dr. Fochtman's leadership style, and he recognizes every colleague contributes a "slice of genius." In 2018, he was recognized as global superintendent of the year along with his own two children who are beneficiaries, having graduated from FIS.
Dr. Fochtman finds great joy in analyzing the structure of schools to identify and bring to the surface the very best attributes to impact student success. You can learn more about Dr. Fochtman at:
