About the Role

The Company is seeking a new Head of School to lead its pluralistic Jewish high school, which is dedicated to academic excellence, Jewish values, and community service. The successful candidate will be a charismatic and experienced Jewish leader, capable of inspiring families, students, faculty, and staff. The role involves leveraging the school's existing strengths, such as a diverse student body, a strong faculty, and a commitment to continuous improvement, to foster even greater student achievement and solidify the institution's position as a leading choice for Jewish high school education. The Head of School will be responsible for maintaining the school's strong sense of community, overseeing the academic and extracurricular programs, and ensuring that the institution remains a source of pride for the local Jewish community. Applicants for the Head of School position at the company should be visionary, strategic leaders with a strong background in education. While a strong Judaic background is desirable, the Head of School must be a compelling advocate for the importance and value of a Jewish education. The role requires a leader with a warm and approachable personal style, capable of connecting with all segments of the school community. Key qualifications include a demonstrated track record of successful leadership, significant financial literacy, and experience in fundraising and community engagement. The ideal candidate will be a servant leader, committed to meeting each member of the school community where they are, and will be responsible for setting high expectations and holding the school accountable to those standards.
