Now hiring: ambitious, motivated, creative educational leaders in San Francisco.
Are you tired of false alternatives in education? Are you unwilling to accept a curriculum with either a religious or a political agenda? Unwilling to sacrifice either academic excellence or emotional well-being? Come build the third option: a school rooted in Montessori humanism, with a classical reverence for history, and a dedication to the heroic in every student. Come reimagine what education can be with a group of mission-driven and creative entrepreneurs.
Overview
Higher Ground Education is a community of educators driven by the conviction that today’s educational options are outdated and broken. To meet the needs of today’s children and bring about true progress in the world around us, we are building and rapidly scaling an educational model that fosters independence and develops competent, capable, and action-oriented critical thinkers.
In early childhood, we are dramatically expanding the number of high-fidelity, authentic Montessori programs around the globe. In elementary, middle, and high school, we are building a program that combines a classical reverence for history, with a Montessori emphasis on humanism, and an orientation towards hero-worship that is uniquely Higher Ground. We are building an educational model to combat the epidemic of depression and pessimism in adolescents, and to prepare students to both understand the past, and use it to shape their own futures.
If you want to be at the forefront of a new way of thinking about education, if you are ready to inspire, lead, plan, and build, if you are ready for a challenge and an adventure: this is the role for you.
Your Role
You will serve as Head of School for the middle and high school programs at the Academy of Thought and Industry in San Francisco, serving children from age 12 to 18. Experience in education and school management is preferred but not required if you have a deep reverence for education and feel a connection to our mission. While many of our school leaders are former teachers, others are young leaders who started their career in other fields and fell in love with running schools. This role will require exceptional communication and community building skills. You will be the face of the school and the first point of contact for students, teachers, families, and community members.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
