Head of school at Arc-en-ciel international school
Taid Rahimi has been the head of school at Arc-en-Ciel International School of Lome, Togo, since 2009. I have led this IB Continuum World school through its PYP, MYP accreditation, and DP auto-evaluation as coordinator. As a principal, I focus not only on improving results on MYP and DP external assessments but also on establishing a school culture that allows for a sustainable level of quality education over time. I also have the honor of collaborating with a number of schools in Haiti, Gabon, and the Central Africa Republic to implement these principles. Born in Iran (Middle East), raised in Togo (West Africa), and studied and worked in Switzerland and the United States, these experiences have influenced my view of what determines a quality moral and intellectual education for the 21st century. I have two Bachelors in Integrative Studies and Biology and a Masters in Education from Harvard University.
