Lead Teacher
María Claro García
Maria Claro graduated from Castilla La Mancha University in Spain with a degree in Education in 2008 and two specialties, Childhood and Physical Education in 2010.
Her working life always has been linked to education and sport. Since she was 16 years old she worked as a swimming instructor, aerobics instructor, soccer coach, lifeguard, triathlon technical officer, and synchronized swimming judge.
Like any good teacher, she enjoys helping others. For this reason, she worked in an Association of Families with Children with Cancer (AFANION) and also, she worked as a volunteer teacher in a CARITAS program.
She loves to be in continuous learning, she always tries to improve herself. In 2015 she applied for a position as a visiting teacher in the EEUU and she was selected by the Spanish Ministry of Education. This would also be an opportunity to learn English for her 5-year-old son.
When she finished the 3-years cultural exchange at Manor ISD, she and her family decided to reside in the U.S.
With her second motherhood, she paused her working life to grow professionally. She earned a Master’s Degree in Management, Innovation and Leadership in Educational Centers in February, 2020, and at the same time, she got her I.B. Certificate in Leadership Practice and the I.B. Advanced Certificate in Leadership Research.
That is why she is very happy and motivated to put into practice at The Magellan International School everything she learned.
