Linda Anderson has served in various leadership roles at HKIS since 1990, and is currently the Director of Curriculum & Assessment, working with R-12 and Divisional Educational Leaders to align and improve curriculum, programs and classroom practices.
Her bio on the HKIS website states, “Linda’s first role was as a parent volunteer, after which she served in the Middle School as Teacher Librarian, Associate Principal and Principal. Linda first came to Hong Kong as an educational volunteer for the United Nations Association. […] Linda has qualifications from the universities of Durham, Cambridge and Newcastle. Linda is profoundly glad to be part of the continuing growth and change at HKIS and at times to serve as institutional memory.” For more information, see her full bio here.
Mark Sheldon worked closely with Linda when he was the Director of HKIS’s Office of Institutional Advancement (as it was then called) from 2006 to 2009, and describes her as “a saint, highly respected, and a person of great talent, grace and integrity!” He acknowledges Linda for her commitment to the school, saying, “She’s incredibly tough, and she soldiers forward – she is the glue of this place.”
Beth McNicholas, President of the school’s Parent Faculty Organization (PFO), recalls, “I worked with Linda for years on the PFO and she really is an impressive woman. She is one of the kindest people I have ever met, and whenever I run into her, she is never too busy to stop to say hello and ask how I am doing.”
