Elizabeth (Lizzie) Bray

Amala:  Director of Education Programmes

10-Mar-24

We are delighted to announce that senior educational leader Lizzie Bray has been appointed as Amala’s Director of Education Programmes. Lizzie is the former Head of the Dover Campus at United World College of South East Asia, Amala’s founding partner school which played a pivotal role in supporting the development of the curriculum for the Amal Global Secondary Diploma programme.. Lizzie has been working with the Amala team as a consultant since September 2022, collaborating closely with our team to build capacity within the organisation to achieve accreditation. Since then she has been working on a project to ensure that we are able to continue to deliver on the promise of our transformative education whilst reaching greater numbers of refugee and conflicted affected youth. Lizzie joins Amala at an exciting time: having received accredited status from the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), we are currently looking to the next three years of Amala’s development. The coming years will focus on creating more impact through the expansion of our programmes, as well as through sharing Amala’s transformative education model more widely. The role of Director of Education Programmes will be critical as we grow and scale our work. With over 30 years of experience, Lizzie’s extensive background in teaching and leadership in international schools across the globe and deep understanding of what a world class education looks like will be invaluable on this journey.
