Dear CDM Families and Students, 

 

It is with great enthusiasm and honor that I write to you as the new principal of Carmel Del Mar. As I step into this new role, I am filled with excitement and determination to build on the school's strong foundation and hit the ground learning. 

 

I come to CDM with a deep passion for education and a strong commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment. My primary goal is to ensure that every student receives an exceptional education that not only equips them with academic knowledge but also nurtures their character, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

 

At CDM, we will continue to embrace innovation and best instructional strategies in engaging learning environments to prepare our students for the challenges of an unknown future. I strongly believe in the power of collaboration and open communication, and I encourage students, parents, and staff to share their ideas, concerns, and aspirations with me. Together, we can create a community that thrives on mutual respect, support, and understanding. We are excited to continue our work that is guided by our newly developed Strategic Plan, Destination 2028. We continue to be eager to see the limitless possibilities of our efforts in providing your child(ren) with an extraordinary school experience. 

 

I understand that a school is not just about academics; it's also about personal growth, extracurricular activities, and community engagement. I am committed to providing a well-rounded educational experience that allows our students to explore their interests and talents outside the classroom, ensuring they develop into the best version of themselves. 

 

As we embark on this journey together, I assure you that my door is always open. I am eager to listen to your feedback and work collaboratively to enhance the overall learning experience for our students. Together, we will create an environment where every child feels valued, inspired, and empowered to reach their full potential.

 

I look forward to meeting each one of you in the coming days and working closely with our dedicated team of educators to make a positive impact on the lives of our students. I look forward to making this academic year at CDM a truly memorable one!

 

I am excited about the great things we will achieve together.

 

With warm regards,

 

Frankie Leivera
