New Faculty and Staff at CI Shelly Luke Wille and family


Shelly Luke Wille (USA) Elementary School Principal Making the move from California to Songdo, Korea, this school year is new CI Elementary School Principal Shelly Luke Wille. Wille served as head of the lower school at Hillbrook School


in Los Gatos, California, beginning in 2005. It was there that she met former Chadwick International (CI) president Dick Warmington, who introduced her to the school. According to Wille, CI seemed to offer a perfect marriage of education and technology — the two things about which she is most passionate. “I have done so many different things in my career, and I am


finding ways to connect all my different experiences to the work I am doing now,” she says. Wille received her Bachelor of Arts degree in diversified


liberal arts with a focus on math and science from St. Mary’s College of California. However, it wasn’t until taking graduate education classes that she realized teaching was for her. She went on to earn her Master of Arts degree in special education. Wille spent several years teaching before taking a break to better understand how best to utilize technology in children’s classrooms. In 1997, she founded Eyes on the Future, which advises technology companies on developing and deploying products for the education market. “Te opportunity to connect the learning pedagogy of


Chadwick to this new experience in Korea … is one of the interesting aspects of my daily work,” Wille says. “Te other exciting part is connecting with this faculty from all over the world. It truly is an international experience with a variety of cultures, languages, and experiences coming together in one space.” When she’s not teaching, there’s a good chance you’ll find


Wille running; she has completed 10 marathons and one half- ironman triathlon. A fitness lover, she’s enjoyed being able to ride bikes with her family (husband Michael and sons Seamus and Braden) all over Songdo as they become better acquainted with their new city and country.

education for 10 years, teaching in schools throughout the Middle East and the United Kingdom.

During his time at the Academy, Williamson successfully introduced the International Baccalaureate program and took on leadership roles in the areas of communications planning and technology. Williamson says he was drawn to CI because there is so much


opportunity to grow and develop the nascent school community. He’s also looking forward to working with such a dedicated and enthusiastic team of teachers, students, and parents. “Tey [the CI teachers] have chosen to work at CI for the


opportunity to build a learning community, rather than just join one,” Williamson says. “Everything is fresh, and as a result, everyone at CI has the opportunity to have significant impact on the development and evolution of the school.” Williamson earned his Masters of Education degree at


Deakin University (Australia), and his Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Arts degrees at Lakehead University (Canada).
