As one school, Jackson Walnut Park has the opportunity to offer a dynamic, cohesive, and comprehensive learning environment where the Montessori program for toddlers through 5-year-olds prepares and invites children and their parents to continue the educational journey in a high-standards, innovative K-6 learning environment.

The Board of Trustees are seeking a warm, dynamic, and experienced leader to serve as the new Head of School beginning July 2025. The new Head’s top three priorities will be to:

• Carry forward the work of knitting two communities of professionals previously under separate leadership into one community of supportive and enthusiastic colleagues
• Work collaboratively with faculty and staff to thoughtfully transition the traditional elementary program into one that is more highly interactive, project-based, and focused on student centered-learning without diminishing the academic rigor and success of the existing program
• Promote the one school – Jackson Walnut Park School – brand, image, and message throughout the community with the goal of (1) retaining more students during the transition from the Montessori pre-school program to the elementary program, and (2) increasing enrollment across all grades

All three priorities provide the new Head the unique opportunity to mold previous campus “neighbors” into a flourishing, cohesive, and exciting learning environment.

Jackson Walnut Park School has engaged the national executive search firm Educational Directions to assist with the search.
