Your Role: 

To help us on our mission, we're looking for an Assistant Head of School to join our team! The Assistant Head of School is the operational and admissions leader on campus. Our Head of School will own program quality and people management and serve as the pedagogical leader, but none of that works without a partner who can drive student enrollment and make the trains run on time. If you are a master of operations, systems, and admissions, this job is for you!

Responsibilities include:

ADMISSIONS:

• Developing and implementing on-the-ground, local marketing and admissions initiatives. We are a new school and need someone who can get out into the local community and share who we are and what we offer.
• Manage the entire enrollment process and forge strong on-going relationships with families.
  
  

OPERATIONS:  

• Manage day-to-day campus operations, including billing, attendance tracking, and regulatory requirements.
• Manage and coordinate multiple school related events.
• Execute a post-high school success strategy, focused on the college admissions process.
• Support students, Guides, and families to successfully use our tech systems that enable their learning.
  
  

SUPPORTING SCHOOL CULTURE:

In addition to the above responsibilities, every member of our community is responsible for contributing to and modeling a positive, values-oriented culture with students, staff and families and working collaboratively to deliver on the vision of our program. As Assistant Head of School, your leadership will be needed to:

• Work with the Head of School to design the experiences and expectations that create your school culture.
• Respond to student and family concerns and support a values-oriented approach to creating solutions.

This position is a full-time, salaried role. In addition to a competitive salary, we offer health, dental, and vision insurance, paid-time off, tax-advantaged savings accounts, an extremely generous tuition discount, and a 401k retirement plan.  

 

About You:
Our ideal candidate is a mission-driven professional who is excited to manage operations, utilize systems and drive our marketing and admissions strategy.

We're looking for someone who has: 

• A passion for being a part of a team that is re-inventing high school  
• A bachelor's degree (or equivalent) 
• Prior experience in education as an Admissions Director or educational administrator
• An affinity for connecting with people and high emotional intelligence
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
