About Jane
Since 2003, Jane has been based in Barcelona. With three teenagers of her own, educated in different types of schools - private school in Spain, state school in Italy and boarding school in the UK - Jane understands the anxieties parents are under to choose the 'right' school for their child. She’s well-placed to advise parents on international school options in Barcelona. Having brought up her children in a bilingual household in a bilingual region of Spain, she understands and empathises with parents making decisions regarding school pathways outside of their home country with multiple language options.
Prior to living in Spain, Jane taught film studies at the American University in Cairo, before obtaining a PhD from SOAS, University of London, on the role of women in Egyptian films. On school visits, she looks for creativity in classrooms and corridors, and you'll find her hanging back in the art department, if she gets a chance, reminiscing about her uni days when she studied the history of art and design.
