“Courtenay did a fantastic job of understanding our exact needs, creating a program, and delivering that program with energy, enthusiasm, and deep professionalism. It was a great retreat and so much got accomplished. He also paid for the Yoga! Additionally, the content he followed up with provides me significant data to continue the growth process with my team. I was very pleased and impressed. We will work together again.”
Ann-Marie Kee - Lakefield College
"Courtenay is a deep and critical thinker, and is always contemplating how education generally, and independent schools specifically, can re-frame teaching and learning to ensure that students are prepared for the challenges of the real world. I was personally present to witness his leadership of the Strategic Planning process at St. Andrew’s, and specifically their Blue Sky evening on the “Future of Work” and the “Future of Academics”. This was a refreshing evening of intellectual engagement centered on the critical place our schools have in shaping the dialogue around the importance of independent education and the future for our kids."
Kevin McHenry - St. Andrew's
"Courtenay is one of the most skilled leaders I have come across. First and foremost, he understands that a school’s most important asset is its people, and he strives daily to ensure that all voices are heard. Much of the school’s culture of inclusivity and collaboration are a result of the role modelling he demonstrates in various capacities."
