Katz Hillel Day School of Boca Raton

2027–2028 School Year

Educational Leadership Opportunities

Katz Hillel Day School of Boca Raton (KHDS) is seeking talented, passionate, and dedicated educational leaders to join our Leadership Team for the 2027–2028 school year.

At KHDS, we believe that great schools are built by great people. As we look toward the next chapter of our school’s growth and development, we are excited to take a thoughtful and somewhat different approach to growing our educational leadership team.

Rather than searching to fill one specific position with a predetermined set of responsibilities, we are looking for outstanding educators and leaders who share our values, believe deeply in the potential of every child, and bring the talents, experience, and vision to help our school continue to grow.

Our search may result in one or more leadership positions serving our Lower School (Grades 1–5) and/or Middle School (Grades 6–8), with opportunities for individuals whose strengths lie in General Studies, Judaic Studies, or a combination of areas. Positions may include a Lower School Principal, Middle or Lower School Assistant Principal, Director of Jewish Life, Director of Judaics Studies Curriculum.

The Opportunity

We believe that effective school leadership begins with a genuine love for children, a commitment to supporting teachers, and a passion for creating an exceptional educational experience.

We are looking for leaders who see their role as more than managing programs and overseeing responsibilities. We want individuals who build relationships, inspire others, foster collaboration, and help create an environment in which students and faculty feel seen, known, valued, challenged, and supported.

Depending on the strengths, background, and experience of the successful candidate(s), areas of leadership may include:

• Instructional Leadership: Supporting excellent teaching through faculty supervision, mentoring, coaching, and professional growth
• Curriculum and Academic Excellence: Strengthening curriculum, instruction, and meaningful student learning
• Student Culture and Support: Building a positive school culture rooted in strong relationships, clear expectations, middot, and student growth
• Student Life and Programming: Developing meaningful programs, activities, and experiences that enrich school life
• Judaic Life and School Mission: Strengthening Torah learning and living, religious life, and the values that define our school community
• School Operations: Overseeing scheduling, class placements, faculty assignments, and the organizational systems that support a well-run school
• Parent Partnership: Building trusting relationships and fostering strong communication and collaboration with families
• Faculty and Team Development: Cultivating a collaborative professional culture in which educators are supported, challenged, and inspired to grow

We do not expect any one candidate to bring expertise in all of these areas. Rather, we hope to identify exceptional people and thoughtfully develop leadership responsibilities that reflect their strengths while meeting the needs of our school.

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for educators who are passionate about children, excited about education, and eager to make a meaningful difference in the life of a school community.

Successful candidates will demonstrate:

• A genuine love for children and a deep commitment to their academic, social-emotional, and character development
• A strong educational foundation and a record of excellence in teaching and/or educational leadership
• The ability to build meaningful relationships with students, faculty, and parents
• A passion for supporting teachers and helping others develop professionally
• Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills
• A collaborative leadership approach grounded in humility, integrity, and sound judgment
• Initiative, flexibility, and a willingness to reflect, learn, and grow
• A commitment to high academic standards alongside a warm, supportive, and student-centered school culture
• An appreciation for and commitment to the mission and values of a Modern Orthodox, Religious Zionist Jewish day school

We recognize that outstanding school leaders come from different backgrounds and experiences. We welcome interest from experienced administrators, emerging school leaders, department chairs, instructional coaches, and exceptional classroom educators who are ready to take the next step in their leadership journey.

Above all, we are looking for individuals who believe that great leadership is about bringing out the best in others.

At KHDS, we are committed to building a school community in which every child is seen, known, and valued, where teachers are empowered to grow in their craft, and where parents and educators work together in partnership.

We are proud of our school’s strengths and equally committed to continuously learning, reflecting, and improving. We seek leaders who will embrace both.
