Concord Academy, an independent, co-educational boarding and day school renowned for its world-class faculty, passionate students, and graduates who make their mark on the world, seeks to fill a full-time opening for a Director of Academic Services to begin July 1, 2026.

Founded in 1922, Concord Academy has long balanced high academic standards with a focus on educating the whole student through a rich curriculum that includes the arts, athletics, and cultural opportunities. Self-expression, storytelling, and careful listening are hallmarks of the Concord Academy experience. 

We actively seek applicants who reflect and support our mission-driven commitment to create and maintain a vibrant school community. The successful candidate will value and explore opportunities to collaborate with colleagues and engage with a diverse community of learners. 

The school seeks an experienced learning specialist and administrator to lead the team and work of the school’s academic services, and oversee the day-to-day academic success of Concord Academy’s students. The Director will be a leader who can effectively work with faculty, staff, and families on plans to support students. The Director will oversee the school’s Academic Support Center (ASC), which provides targeted support for students in grades 9-12 as they seek to build learning skills and habits and meet new academic challenges. Staff in the ASC offer content and skills-based support with the goal of helping students develop competencies they can grow to use independently. The Academic Support Center oversees the creation and implementation of academic support plans, neuropsychological testing, student learning profiles, and accommodations. The Academic Support Center is a key office in centering CA’s school mission work and the Director will work closely with Teaching & Learning, the Community & Equity Office, Student Life, and Health Services on campus to prioritize students’ needs in tutoring and student support services, as well as in the classroom. The Director will lead the work of the ASC staff, and provide professional development and training for teachers and advisors to support access and equity in and outside of the classroom. The ideal candidate will have a genuine enthusiasm for working with adolescents, curiosity about learning, a creative and open-minded approach, and a commitment to professional and personal growth. 

Responsibilities include:

• Oversee the academic support and success of Concord Academy’s student body.
• Lead the day-to-day and strategic work of the Academic Support Center and its staff.
• Assess individual student support needs and build plans across student, family, advisor, teacher, and ASC case manager. 
• Offer resources, assistance, advice, and training to enable faculty to better meet the needs of all learners. Provide professional development on pedagogical approaches, classroom tools, and research-based instructional methods, including differentiation for all students, assessment strategies, and instructional technology.
• Coordinate referrals for outside evaluations, and the use of external tutors and learning specialists.
• Lead a team to interpret educational and neuropsychological testing, and to implement educational support plans outlining student strengths, needs, and recommended accommodations and interventions. Partner with classroom teachers, advisors, and caregivers around implementing student support.
• Provide coaching to faculty on student learning plans, and support teachers with student concerns through consultation and observations.
• Act as a resource for the school community on learning profiles and learner variability.
• Work with students individually and in small groups to teach study skills, organization and planning skills, reading comprehension strategies, and writing skills.
• Work with the Admissions Office to review incoming student learning needs.
• Meet & work regularly with the Academic Office and Community & Equity Office, creating data-driven policy and systemic responses to issues of access across curricula.
• Participate in the school’s Student Support Team. 
• Serve on the Academic Discipline Committee.
• As Concord Academy considers ways to expand its role as a community partner, help build and implement partnerships/programming to prepare prospective and incoming students for an independent school environment. 

The school provides a competitive benefits package, and the salary is commensurate with experience. Student-facing staff members at Concord Academy participate fully in the life of the school; responsibilities include advising, serving on committees and/or clubs, and periodically providing an adult presence at school events.
