50 Faces of JESS | mark steed

2 April, 2026

This year we welcomed back former director, Mark Steed, who returned to campus for our 50th anniversary exhibition in November, and he shared his thoughts on what makes our community so special.  

From shaping our early IB years to watching our students grow into true global citizens, his message is clear: JESS continues to thrive because of its people, describing JESS as “simply the best.”
