July 1, 2025Michelle Fox joined the Clementine staff seven years ago, after spending many years working in marketing and product development for companies in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Growing up in Johannesburg, South Africa, Michelle studied at the University of Cape Town before relocating to New Zealand and then Australia with her husband.
Michelle’s first foray into Montessori came while searching for a school for her eldest son. As many of our families know well, the challenges of relocating and finding a school suited to her child was daunting. However, Michelle felt the warmth and welcome of Clementine refreshing. Not only did the community suit her as a parent, she also knew the school was a wonderful environment for her son to grow and thrive. Now as our Director of Admissions, Michelle strives to provide families with the same warm and welcoming approach that she experienced years ago in her school search. For Michelle, there is nothing better than finding a school that fits your child and your family!
While her three young boys keep her plenty busy, she also enjoys spending time outdoors, and seeing more of Philadelphia and the USA with her family. She occasionally pops into the classroom to share her unique experiences living in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; she even has her very own didgeridoo!
