With more than twenty years of experience in international education across three continents, Anders Hjelm brings extensive leadership experience, a global perspective, and a strong commitment to educational excellence to RWIS. Throughout his career, he has led both well-established international schools and start-up school communities, gaining valuable insight into creating environments where students, staff, and families thrive together.

His educational philosophy is built on the belief that every child should feel supported, challenged, and inspired to become the best version of themselves. He is passionate about creating a warm and inclusive school culture where well-being, compassion, and academic excellence go hand in hand, and where every member of the community feels connected, heard, and valued.

As a collaborative and student-centred leader, Anders Hjelm believes in empowering teachers, staff, students, and parents through open communication, mutual respect, and shared responsibility. His approach is guided by the values of honesty, compassion, courage, and drive – principles that closely reflect the vision and mission of Raoul Wallenberg International School.
