A Great Hearts headmaster heroically shapes his or her community for a greater good.  He or she takes on one of the most important leadership positions in our culture, turning a generation of young hearts and minds towards truth, goodness, and beauty.  He or she cultivates a setting from which great-hearted people emerge, a setting that no single individual can create alone, but to which his or her noble calling is essential.  Furthermore, a Great Hearts headmaster joins a family of headmasters across our academies, with all the support, friendship, and strength this fellowship provides.

Candidates will have leadership experience, demonstrable excellence in classroom teaching, and a well-grounded vision for the moral and intellectual formation of the human person.  A Great Hearts headmaster delights to enkindle the love of truth, goodness, and beauty in others.  Candidates should possess a passion for classical education, and a love for their fellow man that is both humble and relentless.  A Great Hearts headmaster is called to establish and nurture a joyful and ennobling academic community.  Candidates should have a proven ability to foster strong, healthy relationships throughout their community. 

At Great Hearts, we believe that rigorous liberal arts education, grounded in the best of the Western tradition and delivered in a tuition-free, public charter setting, is the key to renewing American communities and culture.  Great Hearts operates 34 academies in three metropolitan regions serving over 21,000 students.  Plans for further growth are underway for Louisiana.  We are now embarking on a new phase of expansion in the Dallas/Ft. Worth and Austin areas (and continuing our growth in San Antonio) and are looking for a cohort of exceptional school leaders who embrace a classical and liberal philosophy of education.
