Meet Our Directors
Wendy Politi, Executive Director
Wendy Politi is the Executive Director at The Malvern School of Upper Gwynedd. While Wendy joined The Malvern School of Upper Gwynedd team in 2023 with more than 35 years of experience working in early childhood education, she was no stranger to The Malvern School. In fact, she was an Executive Director at our schools for seven years! She missed us so much and had to return. She has an associate degree in Early Childhood Education and a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education.
Of the many years of teaching and directing, getting the opportunity to open news schools was very rewarding to Wendy. She really thrives in the collaborative work environment at The Malvern School. Working alongside the Director of Education and the Curriculum and Health &Safety Coordinators contributes to the success of the school and provides a positive learning environment for all children.
During her free time, Wendy enjoys camping and visiting wineries. Fun Fact about Wendy! She met her future husband in Middle School! As a young child Wendy always wanted to be a teacher and her favorite children’s book is “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” by Judith Viorst.
