As the chief spiritual, academic, and operational leader, the Head of School is responsible for executing and stewarding the school’s mission, strengthening academic coherence, and ensuring long-term institutional sustainability.
Summit Christian School is a vibrant ministry of Westminster Presbyterian Church. This role serves as a relational bridge between the school and church, fostering a unified vision for education as discipleship.
Requirements
1. Spiritual & Mission Leadership
Articulate and Protect Identity: Serve as the primary champion of the school’s mission, ensuring a biblical worldview is integrated authentically—not performatively—across all programs.
Strategic Planning: Lead long-range planning that aligns school initiatives with actual institutional capacity and theological convictions.
Church–School Bridge: Act as a visible, relational bridge between the school and Westminster Presbyterian Church, fostering unified vision and shared resources.
2. Academic & Programmatic Oversight
Curriculum Coherence: Ensure instructional consistency and curriculum continuity across all grade levels.
Balanced Outcomes: Pursue academic rigor while maintaining a joyful learning environment and preparing students for real-world readiness.
Specialized Support: Oversee the FLOURISH Program, supporting students with learning differences (Cultivate) and high-achievers (SOAR) within clearly defined parameters to ensure teacher sustainability.
3. Operational & Financial Stewardship
Systems Building: Guide the school from short-term problem solving toward consistent operational health through sustainable systems for budgeting, staffing, and communication.
Sustainability: Strengthen enrollment strategies and donor development to ensure financial stability and the ability to offer financial aid without compromising the mission.
Faculty Care: Prioritize systems that foster a healthy and sustainable work environment, including manageable class sizes, responsibilities, and efficient administrative processes.
4. Culture & Community Building
Build Trust: Foster a culture of grace, accountability, and high expectations among faculty, specifically addressing the need for clarity and consistency.
Spiritual Modeling: Serve as a credible spiritual leader who models an authentic, Christ-honoring life for students, staff, and families.
Relational Engagement: Maintain a “family feel” where every student is known by name and story.
