Dear FlexSchool family,
It is with great pleasure that the Board of Directors and I appoint Kyle Kahuda as the Head of School of FlexSchool New Haven, effective immediately. Kyle has become a wonderful member of our team in New Haven and in the FlexSchool network, and we are thrilled to increase his responsibilities. Heidi Molbak, FlexSchool Co-Founder, will remain in New Haven to focus on admissions locally and outreach nationally as FlexSchool's Head of Admissions and Outreach.
Kyle's excellent job in New Haven combined with his leadership experience, stellar recommendations, and rapid learning curve make him our obvious choice to lead New Haven. Transformed by gifted programs and unconventional teachers during his own education, Kyle has devoted his life to creating challenging and safe environments for students. He takes particular pride in having helped many who struggled in the more traditional schools in which he has worked. Kyle is an educator and administrator with deep and varied experience building school communities, developing curricula, and supporting holistic student development. He has worked in independent schools since 1999 as a science teacher and department chair, program coordinator, college counselor, dean of students and residential director at Chatham Hall in Virginia, and then as Head of Upper School at Chase Collegiate School in Connecticut. Kyle has established and sustained programs and cultures that provide an empowering balance of challenge and support for learners of all abilities, interests, and personalities. He believes strongly in the power of experiential and student-directed learning, and grounds his work with learners, faculty, and parents in authentic and collaborative relationships. Kyle earned his B.A. in Biology from the University of Richmond, and an M.Ed. in Administration and Supervision from the University of Virginia. Deeply concerned with finding the best school environment for each of his own two unique children, Kyle identifies strongly with FlexSchool parents.
Please help us congratulate Kyle on his larger role in New Haven.
Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season!
