SUMMARY

Located about 40 minutes north of Philadelphia, The Quaker School at Horsham (TQS) champions learners with complex challenges, building individualized paths to futures filled with possibilities for students with ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, expressive and receptive language disorders, and anxiety disorders. TQS serves just under 100 students from kindergarten through grade 12, along with a Real-World Ready program for students 1-2 years out of high school. TQS is a place where students who struggle in mainstream environments shine; students find the right-fit path forward to fulfilling their full potential.

Over the years, TQS has recognized the need to responsibly and appropriately invest in technology, in a way that complements its student-centered, high-touch educational program. TQS deploys MacBooks to its faculty, and iPads and Chromebooks to students depending on the grade level. Meanwhile, classrooms have digital whiteboards and other adaptive, assistive, and instructional technologies.

TQS seeks an IT director, a new position that will oversee and manage all IT/ IS operations, systems, and support. The IT director is taking over from a third-party managed services provider (MSP), which has been supporting the school for many years but will be departing at the end of this calendar year. This is a hands-on leadership role with no direct reports, but the school understands the need to leverage outside support for major system upgrades and installations. The IT director will report to the CFO. The school is eager for the new IT director to start late fall of 2024, so that a graceful handoff can occur with the outgoing MSP.
