Job Description:
Founded in 2011, Seattle Classical Christian School began when four
families desired to give their children a classical education
centered on Christ and Scripture.
Moreover, with no classical Christian school in downtown Seattle,
these families longed to educate their children in the same city
where they lived, worked, and worshipped. Starting with only five
students, the school has now grown to serve over 150 students
between pre-K and 8th grade.
Now Seattle Classical Christian School is developing into a high
school and seeking a headmaster to be the spiritual, academic and
executive leader of the entire school. This position is best suited
for a dynamic person who thrives in vision-casting and being able
to implement ideas into action.

THE HEADMASTER ROLE IN 2022 AND BEYOND
The headmaster at Seattle Classical Christian School will adopt the
missionary zeal of the founders, who sought to provide a classical
Christian education for families in Seattle. This time is a pivotal
one for the school and its families-adding a high school will
require a purposeful and resolute leader who is excited by the
opportunity to bring into existence an exceptional community that
would otherwise not be available for those in Seattle.
But the opportunity is also a challenge. The work ahead requires a
person inspired to make a meaningful and long-lasting difference in
the world through his or her faith, steadfast obedience, and
wisdom-a leader who is ready to take a Biblically-informed
discerning stance on difficult topics and decisions with a
commitment to God, all the while overseeing and protecting the
hearts and minds of children.
Ultimately, the headmaster oversees and protects a joyful Christian
learning environment that cultivates virtue, teaches students to
embody goodness, truth and beauty, and seeks to model a kingdom
atmosphere.
The headmaster's primary responsibilities include:
1. LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT-oversee all employees and operations
and facilities, attract and retain talented staff, educate families
and staff, and ensure compliance with all legal and ethical
procedures running the daily operations of the school.
2. STRATEGIC PLANNING AND GROWTH-lead and draft short- and long
-term strategic plans for the increase of enrollment, adding a high
school, curriculum development, campus planning, and other
strategic objectives.
3. SCHOOL CULTURE AND COMMUNITY-lead the school's classical
Christian culture, develop faculty with a classical Christian
pedagogical approach, foster activities to form members in the
virtues of the culture, and safeguard the community by ensuring all
members understand, appreciate, and embrace the pillars of a
classical Christian education.
4. FINANCIAL STABILITY-support the fundraising and marketing
efforts of the school, develop strong donor relations and
communications, increase revenue and operate within approved
budgets, and exercise accurate financial oversight.
5. BOARD GOVERNANCE-communicate effectively with the Board, provide
regular and timely reports to ensure compliance with by-laws and
implement the vision set for the school.
Seattle Classical Christian School is seeking a headmaster to
strengthen its community around its classical Christian commitments
in order to establish a robust high school and achieve its
mission.
With the support of the Board and Committees, an executive
headmaster can strategically increase enrollment, strengthen
culture, and lead the only classical Christian school in the heart
of Seattle-forming young minds through engaging Scripture and the
great works of Western Civilization.
THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAD IN A WORLD-CLASS CITY with Magnificent
Beauty
Seattle is the 18th-largest city in the U.S. and home to some of
the largest and most powerful tech and aviation firms in the
world-all with a vibrant and rich culture.
No other evangelical Christian school exists in the heart of the
city.
At Seattle Classical Christian School, the headmaster will have the
opportunity to be the leader of the Christian classical movement in
a city full of Christian families desirous of such formation for
their children. By bringing together families who share a
commitment to raising their children in the nurture and admonition
of the Lord, the headmaster will truly form the city of God in
Seattle as the school remains faithful to its founding
principles.
The Pacific Northwest is arguably the most beautiful part of North
America, including everything from mountains, beaches, waterfalls,
rainforests, and islands-not to mention its important history and
local neighborhood charm.
The school's decade long existence serves as a loving sign of
contradiction in a radically secular city.
In this postmodern environment, Seattle Classical Christian School
aims to produce graduates who love God and love reason, speak with
humility and wisdom, cherish beauty, embody virtue, and are
invested citizens in their communities and wider society-the
opportunities in the city it has made its home are endless and
waiting for you.
