Your partner or spouse has accepted an interim head of school position in Connecticut – France! After 40 years in independent school education, 20 of them as a head of school's spouse or partner, it's time to reflect on what makes sense for you: Do you stay or do you go?
A head of school transition is a major event in any school, whether it has long been anticipated or occurs unexpectedly. Hiring the leader is one of the most important responsibilities of a board of trustees to ensure the integrity of the long-term mission of the school.
Leadership transition at independent schools is both art and science, systematic and organic. When a board of trustees approaches a newly appointed head of school’s first 18 months with the same strategy and purpose as it did for the search process, the head and the school are positioned for success.
Great independent schools need great leaders.
With our decades of experience leading schools, we recruit and mentor the leaders your school deserves.
