The Company is seeking a Head of School to lead its vibrant, mission-driven independent school. The successful candidate will be a warm, inclusive, and collaborative leader, deeply grounded in Montessori principles, and dedicated to the school's core values of joyful, student-centered learning. Responsibilities for the Head of School include honoring and upholding the Montessori philosophy, leading the school strategically, and fostering growth in areas such as enrollment, financial sustainability, faculty development, and community engagement. The role demands a leader with a strong presence, emotional intelligence, and the ability to guide the school into its next chapter with thoughtfulness and care. Applicants for the Head of School position at the company should have a background in independent or Montessori education, with demonstrated leadership experience and a deep understanding of child-centered learning. The ideal candidate will possess strong communication and relationship-building skills, and the ability to lead with humility.
