Meet our Academic Director

Michelle Smith

The great OIS family is pleased to introduce Professor Michelle Smith Drew, our Academic Director, with experience in the field of teaching for more than two decades, teaching students from Kindergarten to 12th grade, and adults in the area of technology.

At Oxford International School, we had the opportunity to witness her experience grow across various areas of schoolwork, from teacher to teachers, counselor, Student Services Coordinator, and Middle School Academic Coordinator.

Her philosophy in education is that all students have the capacity to learn, and all students need an opportunity to shine and grow.
