About New Dimensions School

New Dimensions School (NDS) is a K–8 public charter school committed to providing a high-quality, community-centered education. Our programs blend rigorous academics with enrichment, social-emotional learning, and real-world opportunity — including signature initiatives in academic enrichment, student wellness, and community-based partnerships. We are a school that knows who we are and is seeking leadership to match that identity.

The Opportunity

NDS is seeking a School Director who can lead from the front: building a culture of accountability and trust, stewarding the school’s financial health, and serving as the visible, trusted face of the school in the broader community. This is a leadership role for someone ready to establish clear standards, build strong systems, and create the kind of school environment where every staff member is supported, every student is seen, and every family knows this school is working for them.

Key Responsibilities

Academic Leadership

Set and maintain high academic standards across K–8, including curriculum consistency and instructional quality
Supervise and evaluate all instructional staff with rigor and fairness; make personnel decisions that reflect the school’s commitment to students
Ensure full compliance with federal requirements including 504 plans, IEPs, Title IX protocols, and mandatory reporting obligations
Steward and grow signature academic programs and external educational partnerships

Staff Leadership and Culture

Build a culture of fair, consistent accountability where expectations are clear and applied equally across all staff
Recruit, develop, supervise, and evaluate all staff; conduct meaningful annual reviews and make contract decisions that reflect performance
Establish and maintain a clear, school-wide chain of command
Protect the confidentiality of all personnel and student information at all levels of administration
Design and implement professional development tied to school priorities and individual staff growth

Operational and Financial Stewardship

Manage day-to-day school operations including scheduling, enrollment, and facilities
Develop and administer the annual budget in partnership with the board; identify financial risks proactively and recommend mitigation strategies
Maintain full compliance with NC charter school law, DPI requirements, and charter renewal standards
Support grant administration and development efforts in partnership with the board’s development committee

Board Partnership and Governance

Report to the Board of Directors with transparency, timeliness, and completeness
Execute board-approved strategic priorities and policies within clearly defined scope
Bring decisions that require board authority to the board; exercise delegated authority within its defined limits
Participate in board and committee meetings as a non-voting administrative resource
Effectively communicate Board vision, goals, priorities, and decisions to staff, students, families & broader school community

Community and Family Engagement

Serve as the primary external face of NDS to families, prospective families, and the broader community
Maintain open, honest, and timely communication with families regarding school matters
Drive enrollment growth through authentic community relationships and visibility
Build and steward partnerships with external organizations, funders, and community leaders

Qualifications

Required

Master’s degree in Education, Educational Leadership, or a related field
NC Administrator Licensure (current or eligibility to obtain)
Minimum five years of K–12 experience, including at least two in a formal leadership role
Demonstrated track record of fair, consistent staff evaluation and personnel accountability
Experience managing school or organizational budgets and financial reporting
Working knowledge of NC charter school law and DPI compliance requirements

Preferred

Experience in a K–8 or charter school setting
Experience with grant-funded programs and external development
Demonstrated success in culture-building following a period of organizational change
