In January 2019, Ruth Pasquier (Rios-Morales), teacher of Collège Champittet, was awarded the degree of Executive master's in International Education. This excellent part-time programme has been specifically designed and developed by King's College London in association with Nord Anglia Education. This programme is exclusively available for staff working in Nord Anglia Education schools. She is the first alumni of this prestigious University working at Collège Champittet.
Ruth also holds a Master and a Doctoral degree in Applied Economics and teaches Economics at the Pre-IB, IB and Swiss Maturité programmes. She has already been employing her knowledge and skills obtained in the MA programme, particularly she has been fostering creativity in the classroom. Ruth's MA thesis focused on the topic of creativity. The importance of creativity in this era of rapid change lies in the significant role it plays in the development of innovation, scientific discovery, technological invention, business progress, and economic prosperity. She is also excited to continue developing more research in this topical subject that should be of benefit to our students and to the wider academic community.
