The Deputy Head of School (DHOS) will play a pivotal partnership role with David Frankenberg, who joined TAS as the Head of School in July 2024, in leading the implementation of the school’s new strategic plan. Relying on an inspiring educational vision, deep strategic insight, operational excellence, and a sophisticated capacity for change management, the Deputy Head will oversee all aspects of the school’s educational program as well as its day-to-day operation to ensure that all aspects of the student experience are vertically aligned to the school’s mission and learning outcomes.

The DHOS will establish an Office of Learning that oversees the Director of Teaching and Learning, the Director of Student Support, the Director of Belonging and Social Impact, and the Director of Educational Technology to ensure the seamless integration of academics, student support, DEIB, service learning, and educational technology. This oversight will support the strategic development and K-12 vertical alignment of these critical areas, in coherence with the strategic plan. Simultaneously, the DHOS will supervise the Divisional Principals, fostering collaboration across the three divisions to create a cohesive and unified school program while addressing the unique developmental needs inherent in each division.

The DHOS is responsible for leading continuous improvement efforts and overseeing the implementation and assessment of the strategic plan, academic leadership, school improvement, accreditation, and relevant communications. As a strategic leader, the DHOS ensures the alignment of initiatives with the school’s mission and goals, promoting a culture of excellence and innovation in teaching and learning. The DHOS maintains transparent communication with all stakeholders, ensuring the school’s practices meet and exceed standards set by accrediting bodies.
