Mr. Keith is an experienced administrator who occupied key positions wherever he worked. After signing off on a colourful career in education in South Africa where he worked as a Deputy Principal in a high school, he left in 2000 to pursue a career in international education. The Westwood International School in Gaborone Botswana is where it all started. He occupied the position of HOD IBDP History as well as IBDP CAS Coordinator. He had great successes and always being up for a challenge, he took up the position as IBDP Coordinator/HOD IBDP History at the International School of Brunei in 2005. He was instrumental in the school obtaining a 100% IBDP pass rate with two students obtaining the highest honours of top scoring with 45 points.

When the opportunity arose to take up another challenge, he signed with the Gulf English School in Doha Qatar 2008 as Head of AS and IBDP HOD History. He had a great impact on the students and initiated the MUN Club that many students enjoyed and participated in.   

For the last 10 years Mr. Keith has worked in Dubai, UAE filling positions such as IBDP Coordinator at the Deira International School, Deputy Principal at Collegiate American School and Al Ittihad National Private School Al Ain, Designated Principal at The Oxford School Dubai and currently the Principal of ANS-A. The example set by our honourable leaders and the introduction of the UAE National Agenda has inspired him to set even higher expectations, not only for himself but for his students and teachers at ANS-A. This is a challenge that he relishes and has already put the essentials in place. His main goal is to develop ANS-A into an institution of excellence, delivering a world class curriculum that develops the hearts and minds of young people, preparing them for the challenges of an ever-changing world. 

Mr. Keith is very experienced with accreditations and authorizations and, also serves as a member and chair of the Council of International Schools (CIS) and has done many accreditations in Europe and the Middle East.
