Mark Ives is Academic Director of Global Summers Academy
An Ontario Secondary School educator since 2007 and founding Academic Director and designing architect of Blyth Academy Online, Mr. Ives has also been Academic Director, Program Manager, Photography Teacher or Activity Coordinator on over 25 month-long international student summer school programs. His passion for experiential and life-long learning has led him on many adventures around the globe including Europe, Central America, Caribbean, Oceana and Asia. As Academic Director since 2015, he has mentored over 100 teachers a year and allocated them to student programs in countries in almost every continent in the world. While leading these student programs, he has seen first-hand how beneficial such culturally enriching experiences can be for the development, growth and learning of students. He knows that when students have the opportunity to travel while learning, life skills and strong bonds are developed, and as a result, life-long friendships are formed.
Mr. Ives is a new father and looks forward to international travel in the coming years with his daughter and wife, who is also a teacher.
