- Ensure classrooms consistently deliver high-quality Montessori education
- Oversee campus operations and manage the school budget responsibly
- Recruit, hire, develop, and retain exceptional educators and staff
- Collaborate with school leadership partners to meet enrollment and retention goals

- Excellent written and verbal communication abilities
- A talent for building warm, collaborative, and accountable team cultures
- Strong decision-making skills and the ability to lead confidently in a fast-paced environment
