HEAD OF SCHOOL

The Head of School serves as the primary educational and operational leader of The Growing Place School (TGPS), a Christian early childhood and elementary program for children from age 1 through 5th grade, dedicated to fostering faith, hearts, and minds within a diverse and inclusive learning community. The Head of School provides strategic leadership, academic oversight, and operational management for all school programs, including the early childhood education program, elementary school, and auxiliary tuition-based programs (such as early morning care, after-school enrichment, extended care, and summer camp). The Head of School advances the church’s mission by promoting excellence in Christian education, supporting whole-child development, ensuring compliance with regulations and accreditation standards, and building strong relationships with families, staff, church leadership, and the broader community. The Head of School guarantees a safe, compliant environment, upholds the school’s mission, and maintains high educational standards.
