Professional comments about Ray:
“Ray Varey has demonstrated strong leadership. He arrived at the school
in the middle of the self-study required for the school’s first
accreditation. Unfortunately, Mr. Varey inherited a situation where
little was completed on the accreditation self-study prior to his
arrival. His leadership resulted in the school being awarded full
accreditation. One quote from the accreditation validation’s team visit
was, ‘For whatever reason, Mr. Varey had inherited a situation where
parents were not pleased with the program and were quite critical of the
school. Since his arrival, the situation has dramatically changed. The
school atmosphere has turned around.’ Thanks to Mr. Varey’s vision the
school has a clear sense of direction and plan for the future.”

International
“Mr. Varey displays strong leadership skills characterized by careful,
conservative planning, and close attention to details. Staff members and
students respect him. He is a hard worker. I have participated in
several of his staff meetings and observed a non-flamboyant, effective,
leadership style. He is a professional…… Mr.Varey is quick to learn and
accepts new ideas and suggestions. Since his previous experience has
been in Canadian schools he had to make a quick transition from Canadian
to American educational planning, from a North American to a Central
European lifestyle. He has strong verbal and written communication
skills, communicating frequently and thoroughly. He meets deadlines.”

“Lynn Varey was able to create a very trustful relationship. Due to
the very intensive and interesting way Lynn Varey created the
English lessons, our daughters were able to learn quickly and to
integrate easily into their normal classes. Only eight months after
our daughters joined the school, they were able to prepare full
presentations and present them to their class and a group of
parents. These tremendous successes t became possible because of the
sensitive and hearty disposition of Mrs. Varey and her interesting
lessons.”
