Cluster Dean
Phillips Academy seeks a Cluster Dean to begin in August of 2026. Phillips Academy is a boarding school of over 1100 students divided into five residential clusters organized by dormitory location. The five cluster deans work as part of a residential leadership team led by the Dean of Students. Cluster deans encourage, support, and celebrate the progress and wellbeing of the students in their clusters. They uphold community expectations, promote student leadership, hold students accountable for their behavior, and maintain fairness and consistency within our residential environment. Cluster Deans provide mentorship and shape practice within the residential program. Taken together, cluster deans build inclusive and supportive spaces, partner with colleagues and families, and cultivate a caring and healthy school community. Candidates should be aware we anticipate the role may shift to a grade dean model within two years.
Cluster dean is a 10.5-month, full-time position on a six-year appointment at 0.8 FTE. The successful candidate will be qualified to fulfill classroom teaching and/or other assignments to complete a full 1.0 FTE. The successful candidate will also have demonstrated the following: excellent communication skills in listening, speaking, and writing; the ability to collaborate effectively; organization and initiative; patience, flexibility, and resilience; and a clear commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Master’s degree plus a minimum of five years’ teaching and residential leadership experience preferred.
