Chattanooga Christian School Head of School Opportunity Profile

OVERVIEW
(CONTINUED)
The incoming Head of School of CCS will play a pivotal role in strategically assessing
the recent growth of CCS and continuing to build and deliver excellence through an
exceptional team. This individual must possess outstanding leadership skills and extensive
experience to effectively tackle the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. First and
foremost, CCS is seeking a person of deep Christian faith and character, who cares about
people, relationships, and the CCS community. Secondly, the next Head of School will
focus internally on existing programs and priorities, seeking ways to continuously improve
in all areas, focusing resources wisely and prioritizing appropriately. Third, the next leader
will focus on and develop the faculty and administrative teams in light of recent growth,
making sure the team flourishes in all ways – professionally, culturally, emotionally, and
spiritually. Finally, CCS needs a leader who will continue to grow its strong reputation,
build external relationships, and cultivate donors to support new initiatives.
CCS’s next Head of School will focus on the five impact areas in the Strategic Plan to
which he or she will have the flexibility to suggest modifications as he or she sees fit:
1. Academic Culture and Scholarly Work, 2. Discipleship and Community Building,
3. Employee Recruitment, Development, and Retention, 4. Campus Improvements and
Master Planning, and 5. Innovative Programs. Through improvements in these areas, CCS
strives for the following outcomes:
• Robust student interest in high-quality, mission-aligned culture and work
• Engaging teaching/learning practices across all grade levels that are aligned to the
Graduate Profile
• Mission aligned biblical instruction and discipleship that promotes biblical literacy and
real world application
• Student life that represents the beauty and wholeness of God’s design for community
living
• Discipleship practices that engage students consistently in grace and truth
• An overarching sense of connectedness and belonging by all students, families, and
employees
Chattanooga is a vibrant, growing city, and families in the area are increasingly drawn to
the mission of CCS. The next Head of School will have the opportunity and challenge to
maintain and further this mission.
