Originally from the North East of England, Joe Lumsden moved to Turkey in 1998 and have been working at Istanbul International Community School for the past thirteen years. 

After spending his first years teaching English A, Humanities and Theory of Knowledge, he then worked as DP Coordinator, MYP Coordinator and Secondary Vice Principal before taking up his new role this year as Secondary Principal. 

I have also enjoyed running MYP workshops, examining for the DP, and participating in CIS/NEASC accreditation teams in various countries.
