Growing up in Claremore, Oklahoma, the home of essayist and humorist Will Rogers, gave Kyle Jones an early foundation of solid values that have informed his professional career and his personal life. He chose to move east to attend Harvard College, earning a degree in psychology with a special emphasis on organizational development, thus advancing his understanding and insight into the complex interactions of individuals, especially in diverse settings.

In his current role at Lawrence Academy, Kyle relies heavily on the management skills he learned not only at Harvard, but also at Babson College, where he earned an MBA with honors. At Babson he excelled among a small group of professionals accepted into the specialty track called "Managing the Technology-Intensive Enterprise." At Lawrence Academy, a leading member of the New England Independent Schools Association, he has been instrumental in bridging not only the interests, aspirations and requirements of multiple interest groups, but also the fiscal realities and constraints of the budget planning process. Since 1998, he has been instrumental in creating and executing the roadmap that has built an up-to-date infrastructure that enhances the administration and educational mission of the Academy.

Kyle Jones carries with him a passion for the educational process and an understanding of its importance in raising not just individual achievement but in solving a host of world problems. Perhaps this seems like an ambitious goal, but it rises from a strongly held belief.

To advance these ideals, Kyle has founded EduSophia, a not-for-profit organization, the mission of which is to bring together leading individuals from educational, technology, and organizational development backgrounds to examine ways in which technology can be brought to bear in the solution of educational problems. Kyle has said, "The new Knowledge Economy has fundamentally transformed the ways in which we think about information, knowledge, and even our economy. Larger amounts of information, though, do not in and of themselves lead to deeper wisdom and understanding. In the end, technology is just a tool, and it is up to us – as educators, researchers, businesspersons, and technologists – to use that tool to transform our universe."

Breaking the pattern of isolation between the worlds of education, technology, and management science is a grand undertaking that will require creative thinking. It is not the goal of EduSophia to abandon tried and true practices and solutions in the academic world. The foundation seeks to advance knowledge through the contribution of new ideas that synthesize the best of modern thinking in decision theory, organizational development, learning, and technology. Kyle believes that there is a unique opportunity in this time and space to contribute solutions to effectively target individual and group achievement through the educational process.

Kyle Jones makes his home in New Hampshire with his wife, Chiharu, and their comical miniature dachshund, Max. He is an avid student and practitioner of the art of bonsai. Throughout all of his endeavors, he carries with him a strong belief in the values of humility, self-reliance, and remaining true to oneself.
