It’s been a busy year at Eastwood Global with several exciting collaborations, partnerships and initiatives being brought to life in between student enrolment, immersive webinars and online lessons. While our work is far from finished, we’re taking a moment to pause and reflect on the incredible milestones our community has achieved, together. Here’s what’s been going on behind the scenes (and behind the screens).

From Eastwood student to Managing Director: Sari El Khalil
Having recently stepped into the role of Managing Director at Seven-Up Bottling Company in Nigeria, Eastwood International School graduate Sari El Khalil has gone on to achieve some incredible things. We sat down with him to chat more about those achievements, his time at Eastwood and how he balances his work with everyday life.

On a sunny afternoon, Eastwood Global welcomed students, parents, and educators from around the world to a special webinar featuring one of our most inspiring voices: Stella, a current IBDP Year 1 student calling in from Mauritius. The event was moderated by Helen Roowalla, Director of Admissions, joining from Switzerland, and included opening remarks from Dr. Michel Khoury, CEO and Head of the Eastwood Group of Schools, who dialed in from London, UK. This global panel reflected the truly international spirit of Eastwood Global’s learning community.
The session was also part of Stella’s own CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) project – an initiative that reflects the International Baccalaureate’s emphasis on student-led learning and purposeful action.

A Student of the World
At just 16 (soon to be 17), Stella has lived in eight countries, visited more than 25, and speaks multiple languages—including English, Czech, and Chinese. Her global upbringing and natural curiosity made her a perfect match for Eastwood’s online IBDP programme, which brings together students from across continents.

 Stella: “This is actually the eighth country I’ve lived in.  Each place brings something different – food, culture, rhythm of life. We always talk as a family about what we’d take from each country to create our ideal one.”

 From Singapore’s international food scene to the rich history of Prague, Stella explained how these diverse experiences have shaped her identity—and now, her academic interests.

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Michel Khoury, Director of Eastwood Schools, will be visiting Mexico City and New York City this February. This is an exciting opportunity for prospective families and partners to engage with him directly and gain valuable insights into Eastwood Schools’ world-class educational offerings.

Eastwood Global is pleased to announce that Dr. David Schenker has joined its Advisory Board, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience with him to the role.

At Eastwood Schools, we are always striving to stay ahead in education innovation, ensuring our students receive the best opportunities to thrive. Recently, Dr. Michel Khoury, CEO of Eastwood Schools, met with Mr. Olli-Pekka Heinonen, Director General of the International Baccalaureate (IB), in Geneva, Switzerland. Their discussions centered around a groundbreaking development in global education—the IB’s decision to take its program online.

As we look to the future, the field of education is rapidly evolving. With the upcoming 2025-26 academic years, emerging trends point to a more personalized, globally connected, and emotionally supportive learning experience. Eastwood Global Online School is committed to aligning with these trends, providing students with a world-class, adaptable, and innovative education.
