Head of School searches are different from every other independent school job search. You must work with the search firm the school chooses. When you are ready to start looking for a Head of School position, seek advice and introduce yourself to the various search consultants--some positions are not widely (or ever) posted. Know that these searches often actively begin 16-18 months in advance of appointment date.
