    Description
    Seattle Country Day School Job Opening

    Job Title:
    Director of Development


    Reports To:
    Head of School


    Starting Date:
    July 1, 2024


    Seattle Country Day School (SCDS) is an independent school that serves more than 400 gifted students, grades K–8, on a 2.4-acre campus on the north slope of Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, Washington.

    At SCDS, we know gifted children can be intense, verbal, and imaginative; we also know that gifted children come from every community, every race, and every socioeconomic class.

    At SCDS, our students find a warm, welcoming classroom, one based around the concept of inquiry, a method where teachers encourage students to explore, to ask questions, to experiment, and to create.

    The school also prioritizes social-emotional learning, which is informed by diversity, equity, and inclusion concepts.

    This attention to the whole child, and to the world they live in, stimulates children's intellect and imagination and helps foster qualities such as flexibility, empathy, integrity, and compassion.

    In our work and in our hiring processes, SCDS is guided by a multi-year strategic plan that focuses on two interconnected priorities: retaining and attracting excellent faculty, especially faculty of color, and increasing the racial and socioeconomic diversity and inclusivity of our school.

    SCDS is committed to the principle of equal employment opportunity for all employees and to providing employees with a work environment free of discrimination and harassment.

    All employment decisions at SCDS are made without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, citizenship, veteran, military, or marital status, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender expression/identity, pregnancy (including childbirth and related medical conditions), or any other status protected by applicable law.

    SCDS will not tolerate discrimination or harassment based on any of these characteristics.
    We encourage everyone who is interested in this position to apply.
