Head of School

SouthLake Christian Academy exists for the sake of God’s glory and mission; proclaiming the gospel, educating and discipling the whole person in all aspects of God’s reality.

SouthLake Christian Academy was founded in 1994 as a ministry of SouthLake Presbyterian (PCA) Church. The school started with just 23 students in grades K-3, and now enrolls 725 students in junior kindergarten through 12th grade.  As the school has grown, it has broadened its program to now offer a rigorous academic program, outstanding athletics, and a deep commitment to the arts.  While it is significantly larger than it was at the time of its founding, SLCA retains a smaller-school atmosphere, where all members of the community are known by name and where the distinct academic, personal, and spiritual needs of students are supported.

The SLCA Board of Trustees seeks a leader who enthusiastically embraces and champions the school’s mission of providing an outstanding academic program rooted in the Christian faith, while instilling a commitment to ethical behavior. The successful candidate will bring a professional approach distinguished by enthusiasm, transparency, and accessibility. With experience in a Christian school setting, ideal leaders will reflect:

• A commitment to a community whose core values are respect, kindness, integrity, and joy
• Dedication to SLCA’s Christian mission and values
• Demonstrated expertise in supporting academic program excellence across the PK-12 continuum 
• An appreciation of the unique connection between the school and the church and the importance of stewarding this meaningful relationship
• Excellent communication skills and a warm, approachable demeanor 
• The ability to build relationships quickly in both the internal and external communities
• The capacity to provide thoughtful leadership in developing the strategic vision of SLCA that generates excitement and shared investment in the school’s future
