Dean of Academics and Innovation

Located in the Presidio of San Francisco, The Bay School is an independent, college preparatory high school committed to providing its students with a challenging, innovative curriculum and a collaborative, supportive community. Our flexible, open-minded faculty and staff members foster and model curiosity, critical thinking, intentionality, good humor, and respect for diversity. As co-builders of an innovative high school, they contribute to a positive community. Our campus also serves as headquarters for the CATDC (California Teachers Development Collaborative).

The Bay School does not discriminate on the basis of sogie (sexual orientation/gender identity expression), race, color, religion, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry, age, or any other characteristic protected by law. We are committed to having a faculty, staff, and student body that reflect the diversity of the Bay Area. We strongly encourage those with a demonstrated dedication to social justice, collaboration, innovation, and student-centered education to apply.

We seek a highly collaborative, forward-thinking leader to join Bay’s senior leadership team. From the School’s launch 14 years ago, Bay continues to develop impactful and cutting-edge programming. The Dean of Academics and Innovation is responsible for overseeing academic structures and systems, for maintaining the scope and alignment of curriculum, and for advancing and supporting the school’s mission as a center of educational innovation. The Dean will nurture high standards of academics in a collaborative teaching culture that supports Bay’s mission and philosophy.

The Dean of Academics and Innovation reports to the Head of School and serves on the School’s Education Leadership Team. The Dean supervises a dedicated, engaged group of Department Chairs, the Director of Learning Services, the Registrar, and other academic staff.
