Introducing our Next Head of School

Emily Greenberg  is a seasoned international educator and a leader in the Canadian independent school landscape, coming to us from a successful eight-year tenure as Head of School at Vancouver Talmud Torah. Her career is anchored  in global experiences, having served in leadership and teaching roles across elementary and senior schools in Thailand, Colombia, Paraguay and Toronto. With a Masters of Science in Education and a fluency in French and Spanish, Emily brings a sophisticated, multilingual and culturally rich approach to school leadership. 

Emily’s administrative portfolio is diverse, spanning both public and private schools within very large educational environments on the full K-12 continuum. Her experience navigating the complexities of both international and Canadian independent systems—including the management of Advanced Placement (AP) programs—gives her an edge in academic design and rigour. She is deeply committed to ensuring that Collingwood’s students are not only challenged in the classroom but are strategically positioned for success in their post-secondary futures.

With a proven track record of leading senior management teams through complex organizational changes, Emily also brings experience in school governance, having worked closely with Boards and Foundations to bridge philanthropic goals with educational excellence. Beyond the school gates, her leadership extends into the broader community, having served on the Board for YPO Canada (West), FISA and ISABC–a testament to her commitment to driving organizational excellence, partnerships and strategy.
