This is my eighth year as an Arcadia parent; my son is in Year 6 and my daughter in Year 2. I moved to Dubai from Ireland. I have served as a class representative for the past six years and served on the APA committee for nearly five years. I hold an MA in Archives and Records Management and a BA in history and English literature. I worked for several years with National institutions and private organisations in Dublin, Ireland as an archivist. I bring strong organizational and people skills to my role in APA and look forward to continuing to build relationships between parents and the school.
With a PhD in English Literature and over a decade of experience as an educator and instructor, I bring a deep passion for learning and growth to every aspect of my life. Since moving to Dubai 11 years ago, I have become a proud parent of three children attending Arcadia School, where I’ve actively contributed as a volunteer and Parent Representative. I am also the co-founder of Living Journey, a health and wellbeing app dedicated to empowering individuals to lead balanced, fulfilling lives. I am committed to leveraging my expertise to inspire growth, foster community connections, and make a lasting impact on the lives of those around me.
Hi! I’m Stephanie Edge, mom of twin boys in year 5 here at Arcadia and I’m so excited to be welcomed as a member of the APA committee this year! As a family unit we are from England and South Africa and have been in Dubai since 2015. I love being part of the school community - working closely with faculty and parent members alike, and I like to take a particular interest in inclusion. I especially can’t wait to see the look of joy on the kids faces when we smash our upcoming school events! Please feel free to always say Howzit to me if you see me around school and I really look forward to meeting as many of you parents as possible on our journey to continue making Arcadia the wonderful school it is!

As a proud mother of three children (ages 16, 10, and 7), I initially studied medical and social sciences, specializing in Forensic Medicine. After becoming a mother, I chose to pivot my studies and spent over 12 years as a private consultant in the sports management sector. In 2021, I expanded my professional horizons by transitioning into event management, collaborating with Between Agency and currently with Christie's Dubai. This shift has allowed me to work on high-profile events and further diversify my skill set. Currently, I am preparing to obtain my License to Teach French as a Foreign Language (FLE).
