The 2024-25 Head of School Search Season

Our competency-based model aims to disrupt the trend of shorter tenures and abrupt departures. Connect with us for a complimentary conversation about how IndySchool Consultancy can assist your school with all your search needs. No matter how difficult the task or size of budget, we will get the job done.

Why Headships Fail
Headships are ending within the first two years at an alarming rate. After speaking with association directors, heads of school and board chairs, we have identified “Rightful” and “Non-Justified” reasons that end headships. The important takeaway is for a professional, honest, and deep relationship between the head of school and the board chair and board.
For Aspiring Leaders
McKinsey & Company recently published a report detailing important steps for those aspiring to move upward. This is a terrific piece, with great insights, for anyone looking to move up the administrative ranks and for those seeking to become a head of school.
Storylines Update
In the March 2023 ISC News, we announced that Storylines retained IndySchool Consultancy to help them develop the world’s first accredited globally traveling school. On April 10th, Storylines made the announcement public from their end with a press release.
We will continue to provide updates on this project, as we transform and reimage what education can be.
