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.

If you or someone you know would be interested in a Head of School or Senior- or Mid-Level search, contact Halladay Education Group at phone 1-604-868-0002 or email .

Qualifications

Halladay Education Group 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 can 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 of more than one type of curriculum are 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)
