Perspectives on International Education
Frédéric Jacques Michel Bordaguibel-Labayle
I am an international educator. Born and raised in the South West of France, I finished my studies in the UK, started teaching in London, then Istanbul, Turkey, Quito, Ecuador and now back in London.
Back to London this summer 2020. I am thrilled to join ACS Cobham as the High School Principal. A new step in this fantastic school.
In 2014, Ecuador was going to be my next professional stop. I am very fortunate to work at Academia Cotopaxi American International School, the best international school in Ecuador. I came in as the IB Diploma Coordinator and Theory of Knowledge teacher, then became the High School Associate Principal and finally the High School Principal.

We will continue those types of conversations so that the seeds grow and this has an impact on student learning.

In 2006, we decided to go abroad and we were extremely lucky to teach in the best and oldest international school in Turkey: Istanbul International Community School (IICS). I started as French and Spanish teacher, became Head of the Language Department and then IB Diploma Coordinator. I stayed eight years with this awesome community.
