Mona Khalil
Head of High School and IB DP Coordinator

I have been working in GPIS for more than 20 years which has given me a wealth of knowledge and experience especially in dealing with young students. My goal as a DP Coordinator is to generate a pool of educated young persons. I see that this is of critical importance, because academic knowledge, by itself, is not enough if the person’s profile and attitude are not in balance.

My work in the school is shaped and informed by the many positions I hold as a member of the IB network:

• IBDP Authorization Visitor
• IBDP Consultant
• IBDP Evaluation Visitor
• IBDP reader for CAS and DP evaluation
• Workshop Leader for: DP coordination and administration.
