Aasia Ali

Aasia Ali, owner of The Goddard School of Prosper, may not call herself a leader but her quiet strength and heartfelt dedication say otherwise. Inspired by her mother, who ran a school in Pakistan for over 30 years, Aasia and her late husband brought their shared passion for education to life by opening a school of their own.

“I never thought of myself as a leader,” Aasia reflects. “I just want to make an impact on children’s lives.” Yet, through her nurturing spirit, deep connection with families, and tireless support of her staff, Aasia has become a central figure in her school and community.

Her leadership is felt most through her open-door approach.
“The teachers know I will listen. That my door is always open,” she says. She takes pride in daily interactions with her team and the families, ensuring smooth operations and a loving atmosphere where children thrive.

After the recent passing of her husband, Aasia stepped even further into her role, managing both operations and relationships with compassion and resilience. With the support of her son and daughter-in-law, she continues the legacy they built together — one rooted in kindness, education, and lasting relationships.

“The best feeling,” Aasia says with a smile, “is when a child comes back with their younger sibling and remembers us. That means we’ve done something right.”

In her business, her community, and her family, Aasia Ali leads not from a title — but from the heart.
