Read MoreIt's time to think in terms of world schools, according to International Schools Practice Managing Associate Art Charles.
Read MoreOver the past decade, our Consultants have placed more than 100 senior administrators in international schools, large and small, across the globe, including some of the top international schools around the globe.
Our International School Practice is composed of former international schools heads whose combined experience is more than 50 years. They proactively search the market and use personal networks and CS&A’s vast reach and reputation to deliver vetted pools of outstanding qualified candidates.
From discovering what is unique about each school, its mission and vision, and particular strengths and strengths and challenges, to presenting candidates whose background, experience, and skill sets are a strong match for the school’s desired profile for its next leader, the CS&A search process is seamless.
Our consultants, informed by a deep understanding of what makes schools successful, first work to determine where a school is, then help the school decide where it wants to be, and finally work with the school to devise a path from here to there—going beyond simply recruiting.
Search committees and boards praise the CS&A’s consultants for frequent and prompt communication, attention to detail, valuable guidance, detailed dossiers, and quality of the candidates. Our network and relationships with schools worldwide allow us to uncover talent that conducting a search without CS&A’s help might not produce — meaning access to the top talent around.
Let me take this opportunity to say that I found it an excellent experience working with all of you on the International team. Your solid advice, quick responses, and insight were super helpful to me.Scott D. McDonald Academia Cotopaxi See More Success Stories
