Old Trail School is seeking an energetic, personable, positive and detail-oriented professional to join our
collaborative team as the Admission Associate. The Admission Associate will play an essential role in Old
Trail’s Admission Office. This position combines guiding prospective families throughout the admission
process (application management and general questions), coordinating individual and group visit events,
guiding parents on campus tours, educating prospective families on the Old Trail School approach to
learning, and providing general office support, including database management. Responsibilities also
require a high level of collaboration with other departments on campus and include both daily

The Admission Office is often the first point of contact for prospective parents, students and the
community at large, requiring integrity, confidentiality, warmth and excellent communication skills. This

adapt quickly. The ability to maintain confidentiality while serving as a bridge between the classroom
and the admissions experience is key.
