The Board of Trustees of Thomas Jefferson Independent Day School invites applications from passionate, visionary, and inspiring leaders for the position of School President.  Thomas Jefferson Independent Day School (TJ) provides a classical liberal arts education to hundreds of students in grades Pre-K through 12. Located in Joplin, Missouri, TJ serves a diverse student population made up of students from dozens of communities in the wider four-states region.

ABOUT THOMAS JEFFERSON INDEPENDENT DAY SCHOOL

Thomas Jefferson was founded in 1993 by a group of Joplin parents who were determined to give their children an exceptional educational experience that would prepare them for success in college and in life.  The founders determined the best way to help children reach their full potential was through a classical liberal arts education with a Western civilization focus, delivered in a highly supportive, mission-driven environment.

In late fall 1992, the founders set out to create Thomas Jefferson, forging a Mission Statement and Honor Code to guide students, faculty, administrators, and parents.  The founders chose the school’s name with care and intentionality, and developed the curriculum based on time-tested programs at some of the nation’s most successful independent schools.

 

THE SCHOOL PRESIDENT

As the Board seeks its next School President, it recognizes the need for a dynamic, operationally strong leader who is passionate about educating students and being a part of the TJ community, while ensuring faithfulness to the founding Mission.  The School President will lead and mentor a robust senior leadership team consisting of a Head of School, Business Manager, Retention and Recruitment Director, Director of Development, Director of Communications and Technology, and Plant Manager.
