Broome Street Academy Charter High School (BSA) is recruiting for a Head of School! We’ve partnered with Sandler Search and we’re looking for a next generational leader, to formally solidify our current model and to explore opportunities for the replication and permanency of the school’s model and place in the educational landscape of New York City. The successful candidate will provide strong, decisive, energetic leadership to the school, be skilled at fostering a climate of excellence, innovation, cooperation, and growth, and be enthusiastically aligned with BSA’s mission.
Broome Street Academy was born out of The Door’s 2009 strategic plan as a response to the growing needs of New York City’s at-risk youth. In 2021, BSA’s charter was renewed and extended through July 31, 2026. The renewal was the result of the school’s demonstrated success in improving attendance, credit accumulation, Regents scores, and retention rates. As BSA’s authorizer, the Charter Schools Institute of the State University of New York, stated in its March 9, 2021 report recommending renewal:
“Broome Street is an academic success… The school prepares its unique student population for post-secondary success by providing access to high quality instruction and robust non-academic supports through its partnership with The Door.”
This is an extraordinary opportunity for a dynamic and accomplished leader with a background in education and youth development. Click here to read the full job description
