About the Role

The Company is seeking a Head of School to lead its educational community with a deep commitment to the values of Montessori education. The successful candidate will be responsible for upholding and enhancing the school's mission, vision, and values, which are centered around nurturing the whole child, fostering engaged and innovative thinkers, and promoting a peace-minded, inclusive, and respectful community. This leadership role requires a passionate and highly effective advocate for the principles of Montessori, including the importance of a prepared environment that supports active, self-paced learning, and the role of education in the development of socially conscious, confident individuals.

The Head of School will oversee the academic and social development of students from infancy through 8th grade, ensuring that the school's personalized, small-class approach continues to provide a life-changing opportunity for all. Collaboration, integrity, and a strong sense of community are essential, as the role involves working closely with faculty, staff, and parents to maintain the school's reputation as a leader in Montessori education. The ideal candidate will have a background in education, a deep understanding of Montessori philosophy, and the ability to inspire and guide a diverse educational community.
