Head of School/Principal

Sha’arei Bina Torah Academy for Girls is located in beautiful Hollywood, Florida, one of the fastest growing orthodox Jewish communities in the country with a wide array of Kosher markets, restaurants and synagogues. Florida residents enjoy a sunny and warm climate as well as no state income tax. This is a great opportunity, whether you are looking to relocate or are local, to join a community of like minded families.

Our vibrant all girls orthodox school, grades six through twelve, provides a warm atmosphere coupled with an emphasis on high academic achievement as we guide young women to develop middot tovot, self-confidence and leadership skills.

We are looking for a Head of School to manage all administrative tasks and provide educational leadership both for Limudei Kodesh and General Studies. We offer a college bound preparatory curriculum built on a strong Torah and Halacha foundation.

As the HOS you’ll need to wear many different hats; the planner, the problem-solver, the educator and the counselor being a few of them. You will need to use your skills to communicate with various people, handle budgets and logistics, and keep all educational programs running. You will be a religious role model for the parents and the students and ensure that the school’s mission is understood and adhered to.

If you’re up to the task, and you’re also committed to high-quality religious girls’ education, we’d like to meet you.
