Mark Waldron | School Principal

Mark Waldron graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in History and since worked in traditional British boarding schools as well as international schools in Athens, Prague and Brazil before moving to IS Ticino in September 2024 where he became Principal of his fourth IB world school. He has a long standing experience of IB education, having introduced the Diploma programme at Sherborne School, UK and when Head of Ryde School on the Isle of Wight his was the first independent school in the UK to introduce the IBCP.

He has taught History, Politics, Maths and German and held various roles including Head of Department, Housemaster and Academic Deputy, as well as directing plays, coaching sports teams and leading educational trips in Europe and North America.

His experience has taught him that the best schools naturally combine academic rigour with a wide range of experiences outside the classroom and that the most successful students academically are those with busy school lives that stretch and challenge on the stage, concert hall and sports field as well as in the classroom.
