SUMMARY
For over 50 years, The San Francisco School (SFS) has been a vibrant and inclusive educational community in the diverse Portola neighborhood in the southern part of progressive San Francisco. Educating nearly 300 students in Preschool through 8th Grade is a collaborative effort at this independent school where all voices are heard and social justice has always been a top priority. Since 2017, the School’s strategic plan has laid out a commitment to humanitarian promise, prioritizing teaching and learning (Program), a diverse and inclusive community (People), and lasting connections to the surrounding neighborhood (Place).
SFS now seeks a head of middle school who will join a team of six other dedicated and experienced senior administrative colleagues, including the incoming head of school. The incoming head of school was announced in the fall of 2022 and will begin this summer following a successful, 15-year tenure of the outgoing head of school. The head of middle school oversees all aspects of the 6th-8th Grade program and curriculum, and will partner with the head of lower school and the director of design, engineering and technology to ensure programmatic continuity between each division. The head of middle school will be welcomed by an innovative and highly committed board, mission-aligned faculty and staff, and a diverse community of families, and will play an important role in building long-lasting relationships among these constituencies during this time of transition at SFS. The head of middle school will report to the head of school, and will start July 1, 2023.
