Professional Experience

Henry鈥檚 46-year commitment to education began as a high school teacher and curriculum writer (first decade), then as a school principal (second decade), and director of development (third decade).  He then served as Executive Director of the Society of Christian Schools in British Columbia (SCSBC) for 12 years, retiring in 2015.  SCSBC is a group of 45 Christian schools, 15,000 students, 1000 teachers & support staff, and 100 principals and assistant principals committed to working together in the community.

Leadership program since 2009; and joining 黄大仙高手论坛鈥檚 Van Lunen Center- Executive Management in Christian Schools faculty in 2014.  

For the past 37 years, Henry has also served the Ministry of Education in British Columbia, inspecting independent, faith-based, and offshore schools.   He has inspected over 325 schools in British Columbia, China, Egypt, Japan, South Korea, Qatar, and Thailand.  He has also worked for about 18 months among Christian schools in Australia and South Africa and has done consulting for Lutheran Schools, ACSI, CSI, and Christian Education National, a national Christian School association in Australia.
