Fadia Rostom — Founder, Vision Scholar Consultation

About

Where Deep Roots Meet Forward Vision

Fadia Rostom is the founder and principal consultant of Vision Scholar Consultation, an AI education and literacy consultancy based in Pittsfield, MA. With over 30 years spanning classroom teaching, school leadership, curriculum development, and technology, she brings a rare combination of technical fluency and educational depth to every engagement.

"AI integration is not about adding tools to classrooms. It's about building the human capacity to use them wisely, equitably, and with purpose."

Before founding Vision Scholar, Fadia served as Principal of Saint Agnes Academy (K–8) in Dalton, MA, where her school earned top marks in NEASC accreditation. She holds two degrees in Computer Science, a Massachusetts Principal/Administrator license, an MA in Educational Leadership from Fitchburg State (2025), and MCSE/MCSA certifications.

As an immigrant who built her life in the US navigating a new language and culture, Fadia brings authentic insight to equity-centered work. She's a mother of three daughters, active in Berkshire community leadership, and chairs The WE in AI Berkshire Summit, a regional convening that has brought together Harvard, MIT, UMass, and DESE partners.

She speaks nationally at conferences including NEASC, DLAC, and MATSOL, and is fluent in Arabic and English with working knowledge of Spanish.
