Overview

Founded in 2010 in San Francisco as an inquiry-based STEAM program, Alta Vista School enrolls over 300 students in two locations. The Portola location houses Junior Kindergarten-Grade 5, while the Mission campus welcomes students in Grades 6-8. The Alta Vista community honors its steadfast commitment to preparing students to thrive as creative thinkers, innovators, and catalysts for positive change in the world.

Since its founding, Alta Vista has built an enviable reputation in the Bay Area education world. The school is currently partnering with the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) to pursue membership. In 2019, the Alta Vista community welcomed Dr. Sean Hamer as Head of School who is capably and thoughtfully leading the school through its growth and evolution. The school possesses a warm and deeply engaged parent and professional community.

At this time, Alta Vista seeks a qualified, energetic, and mission-aligned professional to serve as the school's inaugural Chief Finance and Operations Officer (CFOO), responsible for all aspects of planning, organizing, and directing Alta Vista's financial operations. The CFOO will work closely with the Head of School and Board of Trustees on all financial matters and is an integral member of the School's Senior Leadership Team.
