Julie Villers

at Early Years

Julie has been teaching in International Schools for 18 years, always in Early Childhood from preschool to Kindergarten. She taught in the US, China, Singapore, the UAE, Indonesia and currently teaches Kindergarten at the Anglo-American School of Moscow. Julie is a French citizen and has loved working alongside teachers from so many different nationalities and backgrounds throughout the years. Julie holds a Masters degree in Early Childhood education with a specialization in administration, leadership and management. She has been a team leader for ten years and will become the next assistant principal of the elementary school.

Since arriving at AAS-Moscow, Julie has been involved in the Research and Development team of “Application and Transfer” focusing on project-based learning and service learning. Together with her team, she started a garden with the students, donating the harvest to a local food drive. Julie believes that children are competent and capable of making choices, curious and love learning and need to be given the opportunities to build on their own theories with repeated exposure. Julie believes that open Inquiry is a way teachers can honor these beliefs about children and together, Nikki and Julie are excited to share with you their work in this area of learning.
