23 June 2025

We are preparing for a beautiful new chapter in the Heritage story, and today we have the honour of officially introducing Casey M. Barnes, who will be joining our team as Director starting August 1, 2025.

With extensive experience in international education, Mr. Barnes comes to Heritage with a career built on excellence, inspirational leadership, and a passion for learning. He has led schools implementing the Cambridge curriculum in various parts of the world, including Asia and Southeast Europe, bringing with him a global perspective and a deep understanding of cultural and educational diversity.

Over the years, he has played an important role in the development of the school communities he has been part of, focusing on continuous learning, authentic communication, and the shaping of global citizens – values that we deeply identify with at Heritage.

Casey M. Barnes, Heritage Director: "I am honored and excited to join Heritage International School and I look forward to contributing to our vibrant learning community. Our mission to nurture globally-minded, resilient future leaders and lifelong learners deeply resonates with my own educational philosophy. I am committed to upholding and advancing the vision of Heritage International School – to inspire excellence, foster creativity and responsibility, and prepare our students to thrive in an ever-changing world. Together with our dedicated staff, students, and families, I aim to strengthen the inclusive environment where every learner can reach their full potential. I am excited to embark on this journey with you all and to build on the strong foundation of academic excellence and cultural respect that defines our school and this community."

Natalia Ciornaia, Co-founder of Heritage International School: "We warmly welcome Mr. Casey to the Heritage family. We are confident that under his leadership, we will continue to grow a united and inspired community where each student is supported to reach their potential and confidently contribute to the world of tomorrow."

We are excited to begin this new stage together and we wish Mr. Casey M. Barnes great success in this meaningful mission with us.

Welcome to the Heritage community, Mr. Barnes!
