Meet Niral On-site Owner

Niral Patel is the On-site Owner of The Goddard School of St. Johns. He grew up in the Jacksonville area and is excited to return home with his wife to be part of the St. Johns community. Niral began his career as a teacher through Teach For America, an experience that cemented his passion for education and the belief that children thrive when they feel safe, loved, and inspired. After earning his MBA from Northwestern University, Niral spent nearly a decade leading teams and helping organizations grow. Now, he is proud to bring that same focus and dedication to The Goddard School of St. Johns. Outside of school, Niral enjoys painting, playing golf and tennis, and spending time with his wife and family. He is grateful for the trust parents place in the school and is excited to foster a “Village of Wonder” — a place where curiosity sparks in every child, teachers light the path of learning, and families find connection and belonging.
