Vice Principal — ISNA Schools (K–12)
Mississauga, Ontario · Full-Time, Permanent · On-Site
Campus placement: ISNA Elementary School (JK–Grade 8) or ISNA High School (Grades 9–12), determined by the strengths of the successful candidate.
ISNA Schools is a K–12 Islamic independent school in Mississauga, Ontario, serving 480+ families across two campuses: ISNA Elementary School (IES) and ISNA High School (IHS). Guided by our IHSAN values — Ikhlas (sincerity), Humility, Service, Ambition, and Naseeha (sincere counsel) — we deliver the Ontario curriculum within a nurturing Islamic environment, developing students of strong character, academic excellence, and conscientious citizenship. ISNA Schools is entering an exciting period of institutional growth, including strategic campus planning, a modernized governance and policy framework, and an expanding academic program.
We are seeking an accomplished educational leader to join our administrative team as Vice Principal. Reporting to the campus Principal (who reports to the Executive Director), the Vice Principal provides instructional and operational leadership that motivates staff toward superior performance and provides the best possible opportunities for student growth — academically, personally, and spiritually.
Because ISNA Schools operates as one K–12 system, we are hiring for leadership capacity rather than a single panel. The successful candidate will be placed at the campus that best fits their strengths, and should be comfortable leading across grade levels and subject areas. Candidates with experience in either elementary or secondary settings — or both — are encouraged to apply.
At ISNA Schools, school leadership is an amanah — a sacred trust. The Vice Principal is a murabbi: an educator-mentor whose personal example teaches as powerfully as any lesson. You will help lead students in salah and dua, mentor staff in weaving Islamic values and tarbiyah authentically through the Ontario curriculum, uphold the adab and akhlaq of our community, and help every child see that excellence in learning and excellence in character are one pursuit. We are therefore seeking an educator whose faith, knowledge, and personal practice equip them to carry this trust. This is a call to educators who live their Islam with sincerity — not a requirement for formal religious scholarship. Our Islamic Studies and Quran specialists carry the scholarly program; the Vice Principal's role is to lead by example.
Aligned with the Ontario Leadership Framework (OLF) and the Education Act of Ontario, the Vice Principal will:
If you meet the required qualifications and are excited by this role, we encourage you to apply even if you don't hold every preferred asset — we are hiring for leadership capacity and character, and we invest in our leaders' growth.
Apply through the ISNA Schools career centre with (1) a résumé and (2) a cover letter of no more than two pages describing your leadership philosophy and how you would live our IHSAN values as a Vice Principal. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis; the posting remains open until filled, with priority given to applications received by Monday, August 3, 2026. Internal candidates apply through the internal career centre and are considered through the same process.
ISNA Schools is committed to a fair, respectful, and dignified hiring process. We thank all applicants; only those selected for an interview will be contacted. Accommodations are available on request at any stage of the recruitment process in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code and the AODA. ISNA Schools is a religious educational institution. The ability to lead and model the school's Islamic religious life is a bona fide occupational requirement of this leadership role, as permitted under s. 24(1)(a) of the Ontario Human Rights Code. Applicant screening is supported by artificial intelligence tools (candidate relevancy ranking) within our applicant tracking system; all hiring decisions are made by people.
