THE POSITION
Rooted in the Dominican tradition and inspired by the transformative power of Montessori education, the St. Catherine's Montessori seeks a visionary and mission-centered leader to serve as its next Head of School beginning July 1, 2027. The successful candidate will be a thoughtful and inspiring leader who embraces Montessori values, embodies the Catholic faith, and understands the richness of the Dominican charism. This leader will cultivate academic excellence, strengthen community relationships, inspire faculty and students, and steward the School into its next era of growth and distinction.
THE SCHOOL
St. Catherine' Montessori holds the distinction of being formally recognized by the Association Montessori International as an AMI Montessori school. As well, the School is an independent Catholic school within the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and is accredited by the Texas Conference of Catholic Bishops Education Department (TCCB ED) and Cognia. Located in Houston, Texas, St. Catherine's offers both a strong sense of community and exceptional accessibility. Its thoughtfully designed 10.4-acre campus reflects a profound commitment to Montessori philosophy, environmental stewardship, and innovation in educational design. The School has further expanded its vision through the acquisition of three additional undeveloped acres in Houston's historic Japhet Community near Buffalo Bayou.
Guided by its philosophy and a clear mission, strengthened by a remarkable legacy, and energized by a compelling vision for the future, St. Catherine's Montessori offers an extraordinary opportunity for its next Head of School to lead one of the most distinctive Catholic Montessori schools in the country.
