LEADERSHIP TEAM

Rina Park, M.Ed.

Head of School

I am the Head of School at Elite Open School and have been interested in and working for the education system since my high school years. I started my journey interning as an assistant curriculum developer for the high school enrichment program, School-Connect, and created the speech and debate curriculum for middle school students at Elite Educational Institute. On top of curriculum development, I volunteered with a Team Kids, a non-profit organization which focuses on empowering young students to be leaders in their schools and communities. Prior to my years as the Head of School, I served as the coordinator for the International Academic Competition at the non-profit organization, Center for Future Global Leaders. My B.A. is in Psychology and Social Behavior, with a minor in Education, from University of California, Irvine and a M.Ed. with a focus on Human Development and Psychology from Harvard University.

Prior to beginning this position, I spent six years as the Regional Academic Coordinator at Elite Educational Institute - China where I helped students navigate the college admissions process, paying particular attention to applying to special STEM, arts, and business programs. My experiences in college counseling made me focus on helping students find the right fit for their personal and educational growth beyond academics. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Pennsylvania
