Dean of Academics - New York, United States - The Winchendon School

Description

The Winchendon School-New York is a satellite campus of The Winchendon School in Massachusetts.

The Winchendon School has a rich tradition of innovation since the school's founder, Lloyd Harvey Hatch, set out to build a school that "adapted to fit the needs and aspirations of each student" almost 100 years ago.

The Winchendon School NY, located in midtown Manhattan, has been in existence for 6 years and currently serves over 80 students with plans to grow to 150 students over the next 3-5 years.

Our mission is to facilitate a dynamic learning experience for students who have struggled with engagement in more traditional school settings and thus have yet to grow into their potential.

We believe this afflicts a great number of students in North American schools, and that it is both our opportunity and responsibility to create a more dynamic learning environment to inspire and propel a greater number of students toward intellectual and emotional success.

For this position, we are looking for an inspired, engaged, and committed educator who will be pivotal in supporting the growth trajectory of our school.

We see someone eager to join a growing school community, and who has the courage and drive to use emerging AI technology to make a difference in education.

This opening represents the chance to join a dynamic organization and should provide many opportunities for career advancement.
