Thank you so much for your support and honesty as a leader.  I enjoyed working with you on MSA and learning from your wealth of knowledge! I will miss the ad hoc chats in the hallways with you.  Your leadership, charisma and humor will be missed next year! Wishing you the best of luck!

What a year it has been! Thank you for leading our school through the most trying times. You have been a dedicated leader and learner. Thank you for being hands-on and visible in the school. You are in meticulous in your approach to everything. You share and show your vulnerabilities, you are approachable and supportive. I wish you the best in the your future endeavors.

Wow.  18 years is full of so many memories. Our kids, our friends, our ups and downs as we tried to make AIS a great place for students.  I will miss so much from you.  It's been a pleasure to work under your leadership and to help me grow.  You've been there at the beginning when May graduated from KG and at the end when she graduated AIS.  I'm really going to miss having you pop in every day to say hi and check on things.  I always knew you cared and had my best interests in mind.  I'll miss your groovy ties and sense of humor.  You say your leaving,  but not really.  I wish you the best in this next phase of your lives.  💕😘

I was one of the less fortunate ones that wasn't able to create memories with such an amazing leader due to Covid-19 striking at the wrong time! But, from what I was able to take through these past two years, I cannot thank you enough for being such an inspiration and someone to really look up to. Your warmth and good heart made things so much easier for me (although they were still SUPER tough), but you did your best and I appreciate that more than anything. I wish you the best in your years to come and really hope that things open up and you are able to come back and visit us soon! Have a safe journey, Inshallah everything will go smoothly and beautifully for both you and Christina and that you have many, many happy and healthy years to come. In Arabic we say "ila al-liqaa," which means until we meet again :)

thank you so much for your mentorship and support in my two first years at AIS. I really appreciate your open, empathetic, and honest leadership style and your willingness to confront bias and put ethics at the forefront of your thinking. I'm sad that you both are leaving! Take care and hope to be calling you a Dr. soon!

You are certainly a director that models the expectations. Leading Nearpod Meditation groups, using Mentimeter, creating a Bitmoji, your involvement in the 21 days of X-mas, and addressing me by my name even though I am a new hire and there were no face-to-face meetings shows just how thoughtful, involved and dedicated you are as a leader. I wish you all the best on your new adventure.

You've have believed in me and given me opportunities to grow and for that, I am forever thankful. You're the leader that learned all of our names and knew us enough to have personal conversations. I appreciate your passion for education and wish you all the best on the next chapter.

I first met you as parents following up closely on Jean Luc's progress for three years, I enjoyed the interaction and the conversations that he initiated, all linked to a related concept, global concept, TOK questions... then came Lilly and Dave's new role, switching hats :) as the conversation switched from business to parent/teacher. Lilly is the queen of resilience and perseverance, I enjoyed being her school mom in her junior and senior years. Good luck with the next chapter! May the best be yet to come.

Thank you for giving me so many opportunities. You have always been supportive and encouraging of new ideas. I know that you are a dedicated leader and want only the best for the school and your staff. I remember being your secret Santa and realizing that I knew more about you than I thought (humus and green vegs). I will miss your smiles, hellos and your genuine concern. Thank you for making it an easy transition from the states to Kuwait. You will be missed. - Stephanie

It was nice meeting you, unfortunately I was not here long enough to get to know you better, but the very few time our roads were crossed you left a good impression. I noticed how gracious, kind, hard workers and caring people you are! Please take care of yourselves and have a great time while starting a new adventure. You will be missed.

Mr. Botbyl thank you for always welcoming us in the morning with a warm smile. Your leadership is inspiring and your humility is admirable. We appreciate all of your hard work and will miss you immensely! I thought you might enjoy these pictures of you at my son’s KG graduation and his High School graduation. You have been there for both of my kids, we all appreciate you and will miss you greatly.
