Lee Neale

Director of Gap Programs

Lee joined Alzar School in 2018 as a member of the History faculty, and began a new role as the Director of Gap Programming in 2021.  Lee has a deep love and respect for adventure, travel and education that began when he was very young and has grown into a voracious appetite for new experiences, environments, and skills. In his early 20’s Lee began pursuing a variety of outdoor adventure sports that brought him to places around the globe, convincing him of the transformational power of self-supported wilderness based expeditions. He has developed a passion for working with young adults and adolescents through a variety of roles over the past twelve years, including high school History Teacher, Director of Student Life at a small boarding school, Outdoor Instructor, EMT, Gap Year Instructor, and as a Guide for trekking, climbing, kayaking and cycling trips. After an extended time working and traveling throughout Latin American and Asia, Lee is excited to commit to an organization that values global perspectives, inquiry based learning, and community.  In his personal life, Lee continues to find inspiration through international travel, playing guitar, and outdoor adventure.  Email Lee Neale at lneale@alzar.org or call at +1(833) 862-5927 x 713
