David Penberg

"David is a thoughtful, visionary educator with a rare capacity to speak and listen in equal measure. We were lucky to have him as the principal of our son's school."

Dan Kaufman & Juliette Mapp, former parents
"Dr. Penberg is that rare combination of what makes a strong leader and educator: training and experience, creative problem-solving and an eye always towards equity and justice in pedagogy and curricula."

Susannah Livingston, former teacher
"David was the most involved Head of School that I had ever seen in my 9 years at the Woodstock Day School. He was responsible for gathering well over twenty schools and two international schools from Sweden and the United Kingdom for a three day Youth Empowerment and Sustainability Summit."

Gabriel Martindale, former student
"David is a spiritual relational leader, who has used his intellect to inspire and challenge and to get everyone thinking. He is able to draw on a breadth of interdisciplinary knowledge and literature to create a rich learning environment for learners and educators."

John Baumber, Colleague, ED Global Spirit
"Through the years I have known Dr. Penberg over multiple contexts, from Europe, to the Middle East, and the USA. He is a leader in innovation, educational research, and staff development. Dr. Penberg makes everyone that works with him feel “worthy”, and empowers them to help the students they serve."
