Martin Grist
UISG Acting Head of School / Head of Secondary
Martin joined UISG in August 2023. He has been in international education for 27 years. He has a wealth of experience as a teacher, MYP Coordinator, and Senior Leader within many different schools across the globe. As an international educator, he has been involved with the International Baccalaureate – in addition to teaching both MYP and DP, he worked on the Personal Project ‘next chapter’ guide and continues to be a Personal Project examiner. One of the key elements at the heart of the IB programmes is the Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills. For Martin, these are the vital components that enable students to succeed at school and set them up for success as lifelong learners beyond the school’s walls. Martin has a Bachelor of Arts from London City University, a PGCE from York University, and a Masters in Education from the University of Bath.
