Great Hearts Academies seeks an experienced educator to serve as the Director of College Counseling.

The Director serves as representative of the Great Hearts mission and vision to colleges and universities by communicating the distinctive features of a liberal arts education and the immense value of a rigorous college preparatory curriculum.

The Director will work with the Executive Director to ensure that the college counseling process is integrated into the fabric of the academic experience of Great Hearts Academies.

  • Exceptional writing, organizational, leadership, and interpersonal skills, along with receptivity to accountability;
  • Fresh ideas to promote the benefits of a liberal arts education, particularly among college admissions, and a detail-oriented approach to planning programs—from Financial Aid Night, College Nights and Fairs, Case Studies, and scholarship-search tutorials;

  • Facility with technology—Naviance, Google Docs, social media, and the basics of website updating;

Personal Qualities and Values

We value each of our team members as individuals but believe that we achieve the greatest results by working together. We willingly sacrifice individual interests and recognition for greater collective impact.  The candidate should enjoy being a team player. A vibrant shared services center, and the competitive aspiration, well-being, and camaraderie of our employees, is an essential complement to our academic communities.

The nine core virtues that we seek to model and instill in our students are:

  • Integrity and Honesty.   We are individuals of strong ethical values, who make consistently good choices in keeping with our knowledge of right and wrong.  We are always truthful in what we say and do, regardless of the circumstances or consequences.
  • Citizenship and Humility.   We give of our time and abilities to serve others.  We uphold liberty and social equality through respect for individual differences and always strive to do our best whether we are recognized or not.
  • Friendship.   We regard others and ourselves as deserving of kind and just treatment.  Our conduct is considerate and polite.  We look for the good in others and demonstrate compassion.  Our attitudes toward others reflect the way we wish to be treated.
  • Wisdom.   We learn from our mistakes and think before we act.  We look to each other and our past successes for guidance on making good choices.
