Head of School

Reporting to the board of trustees, the head of school serves as the chief executive and educational leader of Fountain Valley School, responsible for the overall vision, health, and success of the institution. The head of school oversees a leadership team spanning academics, community life, enrollment, development, finance, operations, and faculty affairs and is entrusted to work with the leadership team to translate the school's mission and strategic priorities into action from the classroom and dormitories to the boardroom and beyond. The head will guide and inspire the effective leadership team in their respective domains. The ideal leader will pair deep care for students and community with the strategic and financial acumen to manage a complex, campus-based organization, along with the presence and relational skill to represent Fountain Valley credibly to families, donors, faculty, and the broader Colorado Springs community. This is a transformational moment for Fountain Valley: as the school approaches its Centennial in 2030, the incoming head of school will help carry forward the vision of those who built FVS while setting the course for its second century.
