Raquel A. Grindley, Phd.
Affectionately known as Dr. Rocky, our director is a certified master teacher originally from Jamaica, West Indies. Trained and certified in New York City and now based in Luxor, Egypt, she brings more than twenty years of hands-on experience across every stage of childhood — along with a rare blend of academic excellence and genuine warmth — to every family she serves.
Families arrive in Egypt from every corner of the globe — and Dr. Rocky meets them wherever they are. She communicates with ease across cultures, languages, and abilities, and she understands firsthand what traveling families need most: trust, flexibility, and peace of mind.
