The School
St. Martin’s Episcopal School opened its doors as an independent school in 1959. Today, St. Martin’s is dedicated to providing a quality education of the whole person in a loving, Christian atmosphere, which fosters lifelong learning. St. Martin's seeks to educate the hearts as well as the mind of its students. As an Episcopal school, students' spiritual growth remains an essential part of St. Martin’s mission, working to inspire good citizenship, service to God and the community, and love and respect for oneself and others. St. Martin's is a Christian school with an Episcopal identity, but they educate children of many faiths.

Tactically, St. Martin accomplishes its mission through many different learning and exploration
experiences. These experiences are possible through the small class sizes, which are vital to the students' success. No child is left out of classroom discussions, hands-on projects or playtime. Every child at St. Martin’s develops supportive friendships with their peers and feels the strong support of the hands-on faculty who are truly dedicated to the success of each and every student.

The Position
St. Martin’s Episcopal School seeks a dedicated, thoughtful leader who will embody and promote the
school's mission and values. The new head of school will embrace the Episcopal tradition while openly welcoming students of a myriad of faiths to the school community. Importantly, the next head of school will be the benefactor of a year of intentional leadership and strategic positioning guided by the recently appointed interim head. Recognizing the need to carry out a thoughtful and complete head of school search, St. Martin’s has thoughtfully hired the expertise of a seasoned head of school to lay out the entry pathway for the final permanent head of school beginning July 1 of 2023.

To Apply
Interested candidates should provide a resume, cover letter of interest in and qualifications for the position, statement of philosophy of leadership, and a list of five references with contact information, as a single PDF attachment.
