Saskia Gorospe Rombouts

Saskia’s passion for working with English Language Learners stems from her bicultural background. Having been born in the Basque Country in Spain to a Flemish mother, she attended a Spanish/German dual language school and was raised trilingual. After living in different countries, and working as an educator for many years, Saskia landed at AGC committed to creating a safe and vibrant learning environment where children can be proud of who they are, and can grow fully bilingual and bi-literate. Saskia developed and taught in AGC’s Dual Language program for many years before stepping into a Principal role.

Saskia was honored as a finalist for the Golden Apple award for excellence in education in 2018.
