Celia Zhang - Head of Finance and Administration

Celia Zhang has worked in the public, private and international sectors, including A-level centres, for more than 20 years. She spent the first seven years of her career as an elementary school Chinese teacher, an experience that gave her a solid understanding of the Chinese educational structure.

Celia was instrumental in the creation of a comprehensive three-year counselling programme for more than 1,500 students in six Dipont centres, and regularly facilitates communication with academic and non-academic stakeholders from multiple cultures.

A native Chinese speaker, Celia is highly conversant in English and has exceptional communication skills and intercultural competence. Celia is committed to helping students and colleagues develop a growth mindset, supporting cross-cultural understanding and communication.

Celia has a bachelors degree in English from Zhejiang University in China, and a masters degree in international trade and finance from Leeds Metropolitan University in the United Kingdom. She enjoys spending time with her son and siblings and is looking forward to the next chapter of her career in an international school.
