Head of School Searches

Halladay Education Group's search services for Heads of Schools are structured on the executive search model, frequently used by businesses to hire CEOs. Each school is itself a complex business organization. As we seek to assure exceptional leadership for its school clients, we systematically seek candidates who combine capable administrative skills and outstanding management abilities with proven educational leadership experience.

Senior Level Administrator Searches

We also provide searches for Senior- and Mid-Level Administrators in our private - independent school and non-profit searches. As our consulting firm seeks to provide exceptional leadership for its schools and non-profit organizations, we aggressively seek out candidates who combine strong administrative skills and excellent management abilities with capable educational leadership experience.

Halladay Education Group conducts Senior, Mid-level, and Head of School searches for Independent Schools and Non-Profit Organizations in Canada and the USA. In these searches we look for qualified leaders who meet the position's desired needs profile and qualifications.
