Full Job Description

About the job

We're now hiring an experienced leader to join our growing team as Head of School (School Director) in The Chicago, Illinois Area!

Guidepost Montessori is a community of educators who are driven by a deep desire to bring about widespread change in education today. We believe that the traditional method of education used in most schools is antiquated, outdated, and broken. To meet the needs of today's students and to bring about true progress in the world around us, we need an education model that fosters independence and develops competent, capable, action-oriented thinkers and change agents. To that end, we are committed to dramatically increasing the amount of high-fidelity, authentic Montessori programs, not only in the U.S., but around the globe!

The Head of School Position

We are looking for a leader who shares our passion for the Montessori method and has the talent and perseverance required to quickly grow enrollment, attract and retain great staff, build a strong parent community, and ensure the educational experience for each child in every classroom is of the highest standard.

As the Head of School, you'll be responsible for providing leadership to the entire campus team.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Developing a strategic plan for the campus
Creating a strong culture that embodies the mission of our organization
Building a strong community among staff, parents, and children
Ensuring delivery of an exceptional program
Ensuring overall profitability targets are met (including managing campus budget)
Working with the Assistant Head of School to ensure enrollment targets are met
Hiring, supporting, developing, and managing teaching staff

What we offer:

Ongoing professional development
A network of supportive peers and mentors who regularly share best practices
Career growth and promotion opportunities
A competitive salary
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Paid time off and paid holidays
Tuition discount for two children (we serve children 3 months through 6 years old)
The opportunity to contribute to a high-quality educational program that serves the individual needs of each child
Because we are a private, for-profit organization, this role does not require fundraising nor managing a Board of Directors!

We'd love to talk with you if you possess:

State qualifications
Early childhood education leadership experience
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail with a focus on results
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
An aptitude for creating a warm and benevolent team culture
Strong leadership and the ability to make the tough decisions with limited information
A passion for getting education right through the Montessori pedagogy

We will prefer you over other candidates if you have:

Experience teaching within a early childhood education setting
Experience as an Admissions, Administrative, Program or School Director for a preschool
Familiarity with the Montessori method of education or a Montessori certification

We are committed to a policy of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO). We will not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, race, color, creed, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, alienage or citizenship, disability, marital status, military or veteran status, or any other legally recognized protected basis under applicable federal, state or local laws, regulations or ordinances.

When requested, we are committed to reasonably accommodate employees and applicants with disabilities or special needs that may require an accommodation.
