Metairie Park Country Day School seeks a confident, caring, and experienced leader whose educational beliefs are consistent with “the Country Day Way”—emphasizing excellence, collaboration, community, innovation, cherished traditions, and respect for every individual. The upcoming Centennial of the School in 2029 also presents an optimal opportunity to articulate and celebrate the School’s legacy and vision, and to position it for another century of excellence and achievement.
Country Day was founded in 1929 by a progressive head of school and visionary parents who embraced a mission of “building strength of intellect and strength of character within a community that is simultaneously challenging and supportive.” Located in beautiful Old Metairie, a 10-minute drive from downtown New Orleans, the fourteen-acre campus has classrooms that open to outdoor corridors and make the outdoors an essential party of the community experience. Students delight in the faculty’s progressive program orientation that uses innovative pedagogy to attain traditional college prep goals while balancing academics, arts, and athletics.
