Reporting to Fusion executive leadership, the Head of School sets the vision and tone for the campus and leads the school leadership team, including the Director of Education and the Director of Student Life.

Oversee financial health by managing budgets, enrollment targets, and operational performance.
Deliver high-quality academic and therapeutic programming that supports measurable student progress and family confidence.
Build strong relationships with students, families, staff, and district partners to create a supportive and trusted school community.

What We’re Looking For:

Master’s degrees required
Meet the requirements of 23 Ill. Adm. Code 226.800(g) (the Director of Special Education qualifications under ISBE's special education personnel rules), OR hold a valid Illinois Professional Educator License (PEL) with one of the following endorsements:

3–5 years of successful school leadership experience, ideally in a special education or therapeutic setting.
Experience managing budgets, P&L, and performance metrics.
Proven ability to lead teams, build culture, and develop high-performing staff.
Experience with enrollment growth, admissions, outreach, or partnership development.
Knowledge of special education programming, IEP compliance, and working with diverse learners.
Strong organizational, communication, and relationship-building skills.
Ability to balance mission-driven work with operational and financial accountability.

We offer a package for full-time employees which generally includes:

Medical, dental, and vision plans
Vacation time (for certain positions) in accordance with company policy and state law
Accident and life insurance as well as short- and long-term disability

Work Authorization:

Employment is contingent upon authorization to work in the United States. We do not provide visa sponsorship for this role.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, affectional or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, nationality or sex. Qualified applicants who have access to or contact with students or the public, who are responsible for the safeguarding of others’ well-being, and who work with little supervision in close proximity to others will be required to complete a criminal history check once a contingent offer of employment is made. Applicants with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with local law. The nature and gravity of an offense, the length of time since the conviction, and the nature of the job in question are all considered, and criminal convictions do not automatically disqualify employment. Any discussion of criminal history will occur only after the background check is completed and a copy is provided to the applicant.

Min: USD $110,000.00/Yr. Max: USD $135,000.00/Yr.
