克里斯Kolovos

克里斯Kolovos is the 校长 at Boston University Academy. Since joining bbin娱乐平台 in the summer of 2020, Chris has led the school’s evolution in ways designed to serve its exceptional students and build on the school’s traditional strengths: a more global, diverse humanities curriculum that puts the Western canon in conversation with other traditions; a new academic schedule with later starts and longer class periods; a faculty evaluation and professional growth program; creation of a Director of Equity and Inclusion role; a significant increase in the numbers of faculty of color; learning opportunities for bbin娱乐平台 students in departments and interdisciplinary centers at Boston University; emerging partnerships in the City of Boston; and a strategic vision guiding bbin娱乐平台’s path to 2030. A dramatic rise in applications since 2020 aligns with Chris’s commitment to ensuring that all families of exceptionally kind, 好奇的, and capable students in the Boston area consider bbin娱乐平台 as an option. Major increases in fundraising during Chris’s tenure have also led to a significant expansion of professional development funding, renovations to all classroom spaces, and growth in financial aid – allowing bbin娱乐平台 to admit every qualified applicant regardless of the family’s ability to pay. 

在bbin娱乐平台之前, Chris served for seven years as the Associate 校长 at Greens Farms Academy in Connecticut where he oversaw the school’s academic program. He began his teaching career at Belmont Hill School where he served for nine years as a history teacher, department chair, and Director of Global Education.
