Dear UISZ Community,
It is with great enthusiasm that I continue my UIS journey next year as your Head of School at Utahloy International School Zengcheng. Having spent this past year deeply engaged with our vibrant community—through school events, meaningful conversations with UPAZ parents, and interactions with our outstanding students and staff—I’ve witnessed firsthand what makes UISZ exceptional.
Our school’s commitment to holistic, future-focused education comes alive as a world class IB Continuum and renowned Forest School, which together provide our students with unparalleled opportunities to thrive in our ever-changing world. The IB framework challenges learners to think critically and globally, while our Forest School cultivates resilience, creativity, and a profound connection with nature—powerful combinations that prepare students to navigate tomorrow’s complexities with confidence.
As I assume leadership of UISZ while continuing my role as Superintendent overseeing both UISZ and UISG, I bring valuable insights from my experience leading international schools across Asia, Africa, and the United States. What excites me most is strengthening what already makes our school distinctive: our innovative blend of rigorous academics through the IB programs with the transformative, hands-on learning of Forest School. These signature programs, combined with our “Explore. Adapt. Impact.” vision, position UISZ students to become the agile, compassionate leaders our world needs.
I look forward to collaborating with our entire community—students, parents, and educators alike—as we write UISZ’s next chapter together. My door is always open to your ideas and partnership in this important work.
Yours in Education,
Dr. Daniel Mullen
Head of School
Utahloy International School Zengcheng (UISZ)
