MANAGEMENT TEAM

Rev. Mayfair Duker (Executive Director)

  • Dear Families, Students, and Staff, 

    As we step into the 2025–2026 academic year, I am filled with gratitude for how far we’ve come, and great optimism for what lies ahead. This year marks a special milestone – 19 years since the founding of Aves International Academy – and with it comes the opportunity to reflect, renew, and reach further. 

    From the very beginning, Aves has stood for more than just academic success. We are a community driven by values, vision, and a shared belief in the potential of every child. Each school year brings with it a chance to improve, evolve, and deepen our impact. This year is no different. 

    We are pleased to welcome new members to our senior leadership team whose expertise and energy will help propel the school into this next chapter. 

    These appointments reflect our ongoing commitment to strengthening the academic and operational pillars of Aves, while staying rooted in our founding mission. 

    Across the school, we continue to build on the momentum of last year. Academic results showed promise, and we are addressing areas of growth with a renewed focus on literacy, instructional support, and enriched learning time – particularly at the foundational levels. The renaming of divisions to Early Years, Lower Primary, and Upper Primary, with a complete shift from Key Stages is part of a broader plan to bring more clarity and alignment to our developmental pathways. 

    To our families – thank you for entrusting us with your children. We are deeply honoured by your partnership. And to our returning staff and new team members – we are grateful for your dedication and enthusiasm as we work together to build a strong, student-centred learning environment. 

    Let us step into this academic year as one – with confidence, renewed purpose, and unwavering hope.
