Upper School Head

About The Wilberforce School
Founded in 2005 and located on a 30-acre campus in Princeton, New Jersey, The Wilberforce School is a JK–12 classical Christian school committed to cultivating joyful learning, spiritual formation, and servant leadership. Wilberforce exists to provide a distinctively Christian education marked by academic excellence and joyful discovery in a classical framework.

The school's distinctive approach blends the classical tradition with the insights of Charlotte Mason's philosophy. Its emphasis on wonder and inquiry, habit formation, and the personhood of each child has shaped a school-wide culture of attentiveness, reverence, and delight in learning. With an enrollment of nearly 370 students and a 9:1 student-to-faculty ratio, Wilberforce offers a close-knit, relational environment where students are known, challenged, and shepherded. The school is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

The Head of Upper School Opportunity
The Wilberforce School is seeking a Head of Upper School (grades 6–12) to guide a thriving, mission-driven division into its next chapter. This is not a turnaround story—it’s a moment of opportunity. With a strong faculty, an intellectually rich program, and a community that deeply values both academic rigor and spiritual formation, Wilberforce is ready to move from “very good” to “truly great.”

The Upper School is flourishing - students are engaged and curious, faculty are collegial and missionally aligned, and the program is marked by a rare integration of faith and learning. But even healthy institutions need to grow. Wilberforce is looking for a leader who can cast vision, shape culture, strengthen systems, and equip the school to thrive for years to come.

This is a rare opportunity to shape not just a program, but a generation, rooted in the gospel, animated by truth, beauty, and goodness, and driven by a vision that is both classical and countercultural.
