The TIAS experience of Frank Dost
“The program prepared me very well for school leadership.”
“The academic foundation appealed to me: dissecting complex academic articles and conducting research in your own organization based on those insights. On top of that, you gain a great deal from discussions with fellow students: they ask critical questions about things you take for granted, which forces you to reflect.”
Frank Dost, formerly Rector at Gymnasium Celeanum in Zwolle, Board Member of OSG Singelland since August 1, 2025.
