About N4 Montessori Academy
N4 Montessori Academy is an authentic Montessori school in Melissa, TX, built on a simple belief: education for independence. We create prepared environments where children are trusted to try, to fail safely, and to achieve mastery on their own timeline. Our work rests on three interconnected values — Prepare the Adult, Equip the Child, and Empower Others — and on five leadership behaviors we ask every team member to live daily: Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart.
We partner closely with families as a child's first and most important teachers, and we invest deeply in our educators, because a well-prepared adult is what makes a truly prepared environment possible. We're growing, and we're looking for a Head of School who will protect that mission while running an excellent, compliant, and financially healthy school.
Job Description
N4 Montessori Academy is hiring an experienced Head of School / Director to lead all aspects of our campus: authentic Montessori program quality, Texas child care licensing compliance, enrollment and family engagement, staff hiring and development, and day-to-day operations and budget oversight.
You'll be the single point of accountability for the school — the person families trust, the person staff look to for coaching and culture, and the person of record with Texas HHSC Child Care Licensing. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll be in classrooms regularly, in budget meetings, on tours with prospective families, and in the trenches with your team, not just behind a desk.
