Head of School

​After almost a decade of living in Asia, where she was an administrator at an International School in Shanghai, Head of School Vanessa Ullmann offers a unique global perspective in education.

Since earning a Master’s Degree at Southern Methodist University, she has devoted her work and research efforts in developing programs that provide students with a well-balanced education. Vanessa is an academic leader who embraces the range of disciplines within a school community and encourages high standards of academic excellence. Raising the bar in education has been her professional priority for more than twenty years.

The Kessler School is richly filled with a diverse group of students from prekindergarten to Middle School. Parental involvement is highly valued at the school; which Vanessa recognizes as one of the key components contributing to the strength of the TKS community.
