Marleen Enders has been teaching at SIS Kassel since 2023 and took over as Head of Upper Secondary School in 2025.

She studied to become a secondary school teacher with a focus on Mathematics and Chemistry at the Ruprecht-Karls University in Heidelberg. After successfully completing her teacher training in Darmstadt, she initially taught at a general secondary school there.

A work-related move brought her and her family to Kassel, where she was ready for new challenges and looking for an inspiring work environment. She found this at SIS Kassel, with its diverse mix of cultures among both students and staff.

A formative period in Marleen Enders’ youth was spent in the United States, where she attended a public school for four years. This experience had a lasting impact on her perspective regarding different teaching and learning cultures and sparked her interest in international approaches to education.

At SIS Kassel, she brings this experience into her work with the upper school, preparing students for the Abitur and the International Baccalaureate Diploma.

She was particularly interested in the supplementary lessons in Guided Reading.

After twelve years, Nicole Mitreska returned to her hometown and now uses the experience gained abroad to shape young people into responsible, well-informed, courageous, questioning and creative individuals.
