Head of School

The Company is seeking a new Head of School to lead its vibrant educational community. The successful candidate will be the chief executive, responsible for the overall leadership, administration, and long-term vitality of the institution. This role demands a leader with a deep commitment to the school's mission and educational philosophy, particularly in the Montessori tradition. The Head of School will work in close partnership with the Board of Trustees to advance the school's mission, ensure programmatic excellence, and sustain a strong, engaged community. Key responsibilities include strategic vision development, academic program oversight, enrollment management, staff recruitment and development, and fostering strong relationships with families and the broader community.
