Christopher Moses appointed Head of Global Partnerships

Megan Goodes led the Lüderitz Blue School with great vision and a fierce commitment to her students and to the school. Her sudden passing leaves us heartbroken, yet we move forward with the determination to make her vision a reality.

To spearhead our international outreach, the Board has asked Christopher Moses to join LBS as Head of Global Partnerships. Since 2018, Chris has been the Founding Head of School—International at Shanghai Hongrun Boyuan, and he began a sabbatical earlier this year. Chris has worked in secondary and higher education for the past twenty-five years, including at St. Paul’s School (Concord, NH), and Reed College and Princeton University, where he completed undergraduate and graduate studies, respectively.

Chris spent much of his childhood by the sea in Maine, and he enjoys reading, cycling, and diving. “I look forward to sharing this incredible school with the world,” Chris says, “and I know that Lüderitz Blue School will thrive in remarkable ways as a transformative leader in international, environmental, and experiential learning at the highest levels."

We appreciate Chris joining the LBS team and the leadership he will offer the school.

Welcome

Welcome to The Lüderitz Blue School, a private international school offering the British National Curriculum to boys and girls from Grades 0-9. Our Secondary School is growing! If you are interested in later years, please get in touch for more information.

At the Blue School we know that our students are all as unique as the town of Lüderitz itself, where various industries, people and cultures come together, and the desert and ocean meet.

From a young age, our students are encouraged to be true to themselves, to believe in their abilities and potential, to follow their passions and to think and behave independently.

An internationally focussed centre of excellence, we offer a wide range of academic subjects, as well as a full programme of engaging and inspiring extra-curricular activities. Our students are taught to care for and appreciate the wonders of the natural world, with a particular focus on the desert and marine environments of Lüderitz.

We believe that a Lüderitz Blue School education enables children to grow into curious, bold, resilient and open-minded individuals who will take on the challenges of the future with a positive attitude, balanced mindset, and an endless love of learning.

Marnie Erasmus, Head of Primary (Pastoral) and Head of Blue Education
