The successful candidate will be responsible for upholding and advancing the school's mission and values, which include fostering critical thinking, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. The role presents an exciting opportunity to build upon the school's recent successes, including the completion of a new academic wing, and to launch a new strategic planning process as the school approaches its 50-year mark. The Head of School will be expected to demonstrate leadership experience, K-8 teaching experience, an advanced degree in education or a related field, and a proven track record in areas such as marketing, communication, and financial stewardship.

The new Head of School will also have the opportunity to enhance the school's program, explore partnerships for experiential learning, and further strengthen the school's value proposition within the broader community. A growth mindset, a good sense of humor, and a genuine passion for students and education are essential personal attributes for this role.
