“If we can inspire the love of learning, then each child will have one of the most important tools for their personal growth and success.”
Mrs. Neda Ghahghahi is an inspiring Stratford School leader with more than 16 years experience as a preschool principal, and most recently served at the Stratford Santa Clara Pomeroy campus. She is thrilled to be the founding school leader at Stratford’s new Almaden campus.
Freda brings over 15 years of professional experience in entrepreneurship, general management, and finance in the US and China. Her passion for the Education community started when she shifted her focus to her children’s education after returning to the Bay Area. As an actively involved parent of two now high schoolers equipped her with the knowledge and understanding of the importance of a well-rounded education that goes beyond textbooks and how it can empower children to reach their full potential.
Freda is very excited to be a part of the Stratford Almaden community and looks forward to providing a personalized and supportive experience for each applicant and their family.
