Anthony (Tony) DePrato

My name is Anthony (Tony) DePrato, and I am currently the Director of Technology and STEAM for St. Johnsbury Academy in Jeju, South Korea.

I have a Masters in Educational Technology from Pepperdine University, and Bachelor of Arts in Communications and International Studies from St. Thomas More College (A Four Year Private University).

Before this I was the Director of Technology and Special Projects for YK PAO School in Shanghai, China; Technology Director for the Dubai American Academy; and a member of the GEMS Digital Learning team, which supports many schools simultaneously.

Currently I am seeking to expand my role in school leadership. I have a background not only in Technology Management, but also in facilities design and management, human resources planning and data management, school policy writing, school improvement plan development, government policy alignment, and developing large programs that span curriculum K-12.

I am looking for a school that would be interested in allowing me to apply myself to more than one area and develop as a leader. I am a student first, a good listener, and a creative problem solver. I believe there is opportunity to improve student learning and education even when resources are lacking. I always take a 'students first' approach to planning, as I see that at the core mission of any educational initiative.

Aside from the professional side of things, I love working with robotics, playing basketball, teaching children sports, doing martial arts, cooking, and almost anything that combines intellect with physical activity.
