Meet the Team
Meet our Academic Dean Mr. Thomas Kennelly!
“What I love most about Alpha Scholars is having the opportunity to work with talented and enthusiastic students from around the world and support their research and writing on topics that they are passionate about.”
- Mr. Thomas Kennelly
Mr. Kennelly lives in Boston where he is Program Director for History and Global Understanding at Boston Latin School. He co-founded Alpha Scholars in 2020 after his student travel and homestay exchange programs were paused due to the pandemic. In his spare time, he enjoys outdoor activities including hiking and skiing, watching sports, music, reading, eating, and spending time with family and friends.
