POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT: 10TH GRADE DEAN

Reporting to the Head of the High School, the 10th Grade Dean is a student advisor who provides guidance and support -- both academic and social-emotional -- for the sophomore class. The Dean will help all students in the grade navigate the increasing freedom of sophomore year while also serving as point person for the parents in the grade. This position involves 75% administrative work and 25% classroom teaching work (four to five periods per week) in the selected candidate's area of expertise.

The role requires patience, wisdom, organization, and a sense of humor. The Dean must have the capacity to create meaningful mentoring relationships with students; to work closely and effectively with faculty and administrators; and to communicate responsibly and helpfully with parents. A commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion work is critical.

During the school year, the 10th Grade Dean will be required to plan and staff student events and parent meetings, and will be expected to attend performances, games, dances, and other activities. One weekend class trip and two Saturdays of testing coordination will also be required.

ABOUT SAINT ANN'S SCHOOL

Since its founding in 1965, Saint Ann's has embraced a commitment to education for its own sake, oriented to the capacities of each individual student and free of the encumbrances of formal grading, prizes, and rankings. At the same time, we are unabashedly committed to excellence in all that we do. With a faculty and staff numbering close to 400, and nearly 1100 students, Saint Ann's is among the largest and most selective independent schools in New York City. The lives of our graduates speak powerfully to the potential of an education based on these principles to ignite a love of learning and sustain creative energy in every field of endeavor. We accomplish this by bringing together talented teachers with creative and motivated students. Saint Ann's is committed to centering anti-racism in the life of the school. Seeking to create a community rooted in trust and equity, we invite each other to take risks, pursue knowledge, and celebrate growth.
