Dr. Michel A. Khoury is a distinguished leader in the field of education, with over two decades of experience in guiding institutions toward excellence. With a solid academic foundation, including a Doctorate in Organization Management from the University of Pennsylvania and a Master's in International Educational Development in Finance and Planning from Columbia University, Dr. Khoury has been instrumental in transforming Eastwood Schools into a beacon of global education, renowned for its commitment to academic integrity and international standards. As Group CEO of Eastwood Schools, he has taken a single Lebanese institution and turned it into a cross-border group educating more than 3,200 students across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The model is his own: learner-centred, future-oriented and globally minded, which in practice means small classes, full digital integration from the early years, and hybrid provision that lets a student's education move with their life rather than against it. That thinking produced Eastwood Global, one of only seven schools in the world allowed by the IB to deliver the Diploma Programme fully online, and Eastwood Montreux, the group's Swiss boarding school, where afternoons are dedicated to real-world projects across six IMPACT strands, mentored by a network of 53 global accomplished leaders. The group is growing further yet the logic is consistent throughout: high-quality, internationally-minded education that meets global demand while respecting the values of the region it serves.
