Head of Kindergarten

Laureate Academy will be opening a premium quality kindergarten in March 2019 in central Nanjing as part of the first phase in the development of the Laureate Academy.

Laureate Kindergarten is looking for an inspirational and engaging Head of Kindergarten, with clear educational values and an outward-looking, international perspective. Laureate Academy is being advised by Canons Park Consulting, a subsidiary of North London Collegiate School International.

Founded in partnership with the Oak Yung Education Group (OYED), Laureate Kindergarten will open in March 2019 and will be part of Laureate Academy.

Laureate Academy will open in two phases: Laureate Kindergarten will open in March 2019 (catering for pupils aged 2 to 6 years-old), whilst the school (catering for pupils aged 6 to 18 years-old) will open in 2020. The two campuses are approximately a 20 minute drive from one another and will be managed holistically, as an integrated Kindergarten to grade 12 school, sharing the same educational ethos and certain specialist facilities and teaching resources, such as sports and music.

The Head of Kindergarten will be the educational leader of Laureate Kindergarten, and will also responsible for the day-to-day running of the school. He / she will deliver an enriched curriculum, which supports the vision, ethos and policies of the whole school, blending an outward looking and internationally focused perspective with an enriched and academically ambitious approach to the Chinese state curriculum. The successful candidate will combine a track record of highly successful educational leadership, developed in the UK or internationally, with the cultural awareness and global perspective to inspire the whole school community and manage diverse stakeholder relationships. A genuine resonance with Laureate Academy’s distinctive educational values and a commitment to embedding these within the kindergarten is essential.

Laureate Kindergarten seeks a committed and forward-looking individual to join the founding team and support the Kindergarten’s development and integration within Laureate Academy.
