Many Rivers seeks a Permanent Head of School to build upon the exceptional foundation, the passion for high-quality Montessori education, and the collaborative and entrepreneurial spirit fostered in the school’s first 11 years.

As the school transitions from a start-up mindset toward long term sustainability, the Board of Trustees is looking for a next Head who can continue to deliver values-driven Montessori excellence while also building systems and structures that will enable the school to thrive for years to come.

As the leader of MRM, the Head pursues the vision and executes the mission and strategic objectives of the school, nurtures the school culture, manages faculty and staff, and ensures the institution’s financial health. In particular, the Board will look to the permanent Head of School to be responsible for:

  • Leadership and Management of Staff and Culture
  • Instructional Leadership and Educational Compliance
  • Communication and Relationship Building
  • Financial and Operational Stewardship and Development

For more information about this opportunity, including the desired candidate qualities, compensation, instructions on how to apply, and a full profile on the school, its programs, and its setting in Duluth, MN, please view the full Permanent Head of School Position Description.

The Search Committee will begin reviewing candidate applications in July 2025 and the position will remain open until filled.
