HEAD OF SCHOOL
Our Hawally and Salmiya campuses are guided by a dedicated Head of School who ensures that every member of the ACA community feels supported, inspired, and challenged to reach their full potential.
Dr. Claire Shea - Head of School Hawally Campus
LEADERSHIP ROOTED IN COMMUNITY AND PURPOSE
Both leaders are united by a common purpose: delivering an education that celebrates our values and prepares students to be thriving global citizens.
It is about vision, collaboration, and a shared commitment to student success. Our two Heads of School lead with integrity, innovation, and a deep understanding of both our American educational foundation and the local culture we serve.
Our Heads of School work closely with teachers, parents, and students to maintain a learning culture grounded in compassion and academic excellence. Their leadership is reflected not only in the success of our students, but also in the sense of belonging and community that defines ACA.
At the American Creativity Academy, leadership is more than management.
Dr. Mary Pearce - Head of School at the American Creativity Academy (ACA)
LEADERSHIP THAT GUIDES OUR MISSION
Strength isn't just about pulling harder—it's about working together. Through teamwork, perseverance, and school spirit, our students learn that every challenge is easier when faced as one.
Together, they uphold ACA’s mission to provide an American standards-based education in an environment where Islamic values are respected and practiced, ensuring our students are not only well-educated but also well-rounded, ethical, and future-ready.
Their dedication, professionalism, and vision make ACA a place where students are seen, heard, and empowered to succeed today and for years to come.
