Job Description
Located 40 miles north of Charlotte, NC and just north of Lake Norman State Park, Statesville Christian School (SCS) is a mid-size private K-12 Christian school with current enrollment of 400 students. The school is an inter-denominational college preparatory Christian school. SCS was founded in 1994 and is a board governing 501(c)(3) educational institution incorporating the Policy Governance© model of governance. Statesville Christian has been a covenant or believer’s school from its inception. SCS champions a partnership across the family, the school, and the church to encourage students to think, live, love, and lead as Christians through programs of academic excellence based upon a Biblical worldview. Parents make intentional investments in the education of their children to point them to our Lord Jesus Christ and to provide a compass (the Bible, His Word) for educating the whole person – for training in the proper government of mind, heart, body, and soul. Statesville Christian aspires to raise up authentic Christian leaders who will engage the culture, the nation, and the world with the mindset and heart of our Savior.
The Statesville Christian School Board of Trustees is seeking a new Head of School – one who is an innovative, experienced, Christian educator and who is passionate about true excellence in Christian Biblical worldview education. The candidate must have strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills to be able to provide Godly direction in all aspects of the life of the school and be someone acquainted with building a Biblical, Gospel-oriented school culture. The Head of School will combine Christian orthodoxy with orthopraxy in living out the Christian life through leading a community of educators. The Head of School will encourage God-honoring communication and relationships in the school and community it serves. The Head of School will implement innovative educational programs and activities across whole school segments and functions – Elementary, Middle, and High School.
The Head of School is the chief administrator of the school who oversees all functions of the school and reports directly to the Statesville Christian School Board of Trustees. The Head of School is supported by a leadership team which consists of Elementary and Upper School Principals as well as other ancillary leadership roles.
