Paul Teys breaks down leadership, school culture, and what independent schools must do now to prepare students for the future.
Leadership isn’t just about making decisions — it’s about shaping culture, inspiring teams, and adapting to what’s next. In this episode of Franklin UnlimitED, host Will Campbell is joined by Dr. Paul Teys, a veteran educator with over 40 years of experience in school leadership. They unpack what makes independent schools unique, what high-performing school cultures actually require, and how leaders can stay ahead without losing sight of what really matters: the students. From rethinking curriculum in an AI-influenced world to building leadership pipelines and balancing financial sustainability with accessibility, this episode is a practical roadmap for any school leader — or anyone passionate about the future of education. Dr. Teys also shares why mentorship is a critical lever for resilience, and how great leadership is really about clarity, care, and courageous decision-making.
