Head of School - Audrey Peverelli

Mrs. Audrey Peverelli arrived at ISP in 2003 to head the Primary School and was named Head of the School in 2008.

She has a BA in Psychology & Political Science from the University of Western Ontario (Canada), and an MA in Management of International Schools from Oxford Brookes University (UK). She is also trained as a Montessori early childhood educator, and has taught at, founded and headed schools in France, Uruguay, Brazil, the USA and Venezuela.

Mrs. Peverelli is a strong believer in educating the “whole child.” She fervently believes “that children do their best when working in curricula that are concept-driven, where they are skillfully guided towards making connections across subject areas and with the real world. I also think that when teachers know how to differentiate lessons, they truly help each child reach his or her potential.

Mrs. Peverelli is a team member of the Council of International Schools accrediting body and an Authorization team leader for the IB. She keeps abreast of best practices through school visits and by constantly attending professional development workshops and expanding her own understanding of excellence with the aim of enhancing student learning in International Schools.

Truly a citizen of the world, Mrs. Peverelli was born in Argentina, spent her childhood in Venezuela and has British nationality. She is married to a Swiss citizen and speaks fluent English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. Mrs. Peverelli’s three adult children all received an IB Diploma.
