Head of School Searches
Halladay Education Group's search services for Heads of Schools are structured on the executive search model, a method frequently used by businesses to hire CEOS. Each school is, in itself, a complex business organization. As we strive to deliver exceptional leadership to our 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 to its schools and non-profit organizations, we actively seek candidates who combine strong administrative skills and excellent management abilities with proven 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.
Qualifications
Halladay Education Group (HEG) seeks the highest level of candidates both personally and professionally. The private, independent schools and non-profits we serve vary greatly. These are senior positions, usually for Heads of School or Senior Administrative Positions. It is therefore required that prospective candidates demonstrate knowledge/experience in the following areas:
- Recent professional experience within the age range 3 to 19 years (HEG does not handle college-level appointments)
- Experience with more than one type of curriculum is frequently preferred (e.g., Canadian, U.S., International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement, Special Needs, U.K.).
- Occasionally, fluency in a foreign language is required, and in many other instances it is considered advantageous.
- An excellent command of written and spoken English
- Prior school or non-profit experience (many schools and non-profits seeking administrative candidates will only give serious consideration to those with previous experience)
- A higher degree (many international schools prefer administrative candidates to have a higher degree)
