Mr Ryan Miles
Head of Secondary School, Dehong Shanghai
Ryan is in his fourth year as Head of Secondary School at Dehong Shanghai. During his tenure, the school has continued to grow and develop. Throughout the pandemic, he has strived to take a calm and positive leadership stance with a keen focus on staff and student wellbeing.
He started his career at Bexley Grammar School in the UK, as an A-Level and International Baccalaureate (IB) Geography teacher and was quickly promoted to the post of Head of Geography. In 2011, he moved to South Korea as a founding member of the start-up school North London Collegiate School Jeju, leaving eight years later as an Assistant Head teacher and IB coordinator.
Ryan firmly believes that any student can achieve anything if given the right amount of support and the right amount of drive and determination. He has always been amazed by the achievements of the students he has taught over the years, which is often even more impressive considering many are second language learners that he has taught overseas.
