The Owners

The Owners

Maureen Hayes and Cleve Brown are 2 friends and the owners of Worldwide School (50% each). They are both "hands on" owners and that means one or both of them are at the school everyday and students can meet them and get to know them. Both come from teaching backgrounds and so they understand students' needs.
