Strategenius on behalf of The Madeira School, Mc Lean, Virginia, us, 22107


LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY

The Madeira School, a highly-regarded, girls’ boarding and day school in McLean, Virginia, is seeking a collaborative, engaging, and innovative leader to join them as the inaugural Director of Belonging and Global Education. Serving 340 students in grades 9-12, Madeira is where young people gain confidence, courage, and real-world experience so that they can thrive in today’s ever-evolving world. Founded in 1906 and incorporated in 1926, at Madeira, learning’s purpose is not only for students to obtain the skills needed to thrive at college but also for students to understand themselves in relation to others, to be informed about their changing world, and to participate actively and confidently in life through leadership and service.

Reporting to Head of School, Christina Kyong, the Director of Belonging will join a new era of growth and evolution at Madeira. An integral part of the Senior Administrative team, the Director will work across all constituencies of the School to develop, implement, and nurture a comprehensive DEIB strategic plan that aligns with Madeira’s mission and values. Madeira is seeking a skilled leader with demonstrable experience in building and growing DEIB programming. The School aims to make significant and impactful progress in this area while recognizing that lasting change does not happen overnight. The Director must be thoughtful and open-minded in their assessment of the School today, and creative, diplomatic, and strategic in their plans for the future.

The Director of Belonging is a full-time, 12-month role working in partnership with the Head of School and the Senior Administrative team to provide strategic leadership in the area of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. The Director will provide guidance and insight into all aspects of administrative work related to the School’s commitment to DEIB, and will also support the work of individual administrators, faculty, and staff in the implementation of the initiatives related to DEIB. With both students and faculty/staff as their priority constituencies, the Director will have a hand in student activities programming, curriculum development, professional development, admissions, and affirmative hiring and retention. This role requires full community engagement, visibility on campus, accessibility, transparency, and high emotional intelligence. As with all boarding schools, working at Madeira is a lifestyle choice that the Director will commit to joyfully and wholeheartedly.
