About the Role
The Company is seeking a Head of Upper School to provide visionary and student-centered leadership to its dynamic community. The successful candidate will be responsible for creating and nurturing an integrated student experience that goes beyond the classroom, with a focus on advisory, leadership development, and co-curricular programs. This role requires a leader who can build strong relationships, both within the school and with the broader community, and who is committed to the intellectual and personal growth of students. The Head of Upper School will also work to ensure greater coherence across the Upper School and the broader 5-12 program, supporting the faculty's professional development, and inspiring them to excel in their teaching and mentoring roles. Applicants for the Head of Upper School position at the company should have a nuanced understanding of the curricular and co-curricular dimensions of a complex Upper School, with a particular alignment to the commitment of educating young women. The role demands a leader with a proven track record in diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as the ability to lead thoughtful change and build faculty trust. The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker, capable of translating ideas into action, and will have the skill and willingness to teach one Upper School class each year. Personal attributes should include being relational, approachable, and genuinely invested in the lives of students and colleagues, with a sense of humor, playfulness, and joy in the school environment.
