Richard De La Cuadra
Richard De La Cuadra is a passionate and innovative educator, who founded Xavier Academy in West University, a suburb of Houston, in 2007. Richard’s experience as a teacher and administrative leader in a variety of schools, ranging from large public high schools to small private and religious schools, made him realize that traditional and rigid school settings do not meet the needs of all students. As a result, he decided to create a new education model where learning is a student-centered, flexible, stimulating, and personalized. Xavier’s success can be attributed to Richard’s collaborative and personalized approach to education. With an overall focus on well-being, his staff, trained in collaborative-dialogue, along with Xavier students, engaging in knowledge building and meaning making through their relationships and ongoing shared conversations.
Born in Ecuador, Richard spent his teen years in New York, where he attended Xavier High School. He is a graduate of Holy Cross in Massachusetts and has continued his education in collaborative leadership through the Houston Galveston Institute, where he serves on faculty. His staff is trained in collaborative leadership and positive psychology, enabling them to help connect with students on a more meaningful and personalized level. Through international trips, unique electives, rigorous but supportive courses and an overall focus on well-being, Xavier students receive a comprehensive education that nurtures them on an academic and personal level. Richard’s goal is to help each student tap into their potential and thrive. He is honored to get to share Xavier’s story and his innovative model for education with the hope of inspiring others to embrace this approach of collaborative learning.
