Phillips Exeter Academy seeks applications and nominations for the position of Dean of Students.

Established in 1781, Phillips Exeter Academy is a co-ed, independent, residential school celebrating 242 years of fostering curiosity and cultivating potential. The Harkness pedagogy originated at our school and is a way of life at Exeter which extends far beyond the classroom. Today, Exeter is home to over 1,000 students from grades 9 through 12 and postgraduates from the US and 31 foreign countries. Our diverse community is underpinned by our timeless mission to “Unite goodness and knowledge and inspire youth from every quarter to lead purposeful lives,” and by our deep commitment to academic excellence and to diversity, equity and inclusion.

We now seek an inspirational leader to join our community as Dean of Students. Reporting directly to the Principal, the Dean of Students will contribute to the strategic direction of our school as a key member of the administration, while ensuring that the Exeter experience continues to be supportive and transformative for our students.

This is a wonderful opportunity for an experienced educator to shape the experiences and lives of our students. We are excited to engage with candidates who have a clear vision for an outstanding student experience, expertise in residential life, the relational skills to connect authentically across our community, and a deep respect for the diversity of identities, backgrounds, and experiences that make Exeter extraordinary.

In recent decades, the Dean of Students position at Exeter has been held on a rotating basis for a fixed term. We are now seeking to make a permanent appointment to this critical role. It is an exciting time to join our community and we hope you will be interested to learn more.

The application closing date is: Thursday, January 11, 2024
