About The Position
The Nueva School seeks a full-time Upper School Dean of Academic Systems and Analytics to play a pivotal role in designing and maintaining the educational framework that enables our gifted learners to thrive. By masterfully designing and managing the upper school course schedule and academic calendar, this strategic administrator directly impacts student learning experiences, academic pathways, and educational outcomes. Through thoughtful scheduling that balances student choice with institutional needs, this role ensures students can access the diverse coursework they need to reach their full potential. This key administrator also collects and analyzes academic data to help leadership make informed decisions about course offerings, program improvements, and schedule optimizations that enhance student engagement and success. The dean will leverage their educational experience, data acumen, and systems thinking to orchestrate these essential processes in our dynamic learning environment. The dean reports to the Upper School head and is a key member of the four person Upper School leadership team. Along with the US Assistant Head and Dean of Students, they help lead our largest division. They work with the Assistant Upper School Head both to manage the Academic Council meetings (our body of Department Chairs) and to support all operations of the academic program. Together with the Dean of Students, they create a schedule and calendar that supports student wellness, holding the events that make our school dynamic. As a relatively new role, this dean continues to help the US leadership create systems to support the work of the school. The ideal candidate will quickly demonstrate an appreciation of our complex curriculum and its rather personalized scheduling needs. They will work to keep diverse offerings and student choice at the heart of our scheduling priorities while balancing the need for consistency, clarity, and transparency. They will be curious to observe school operations in order to discover where, and how, they can improve while supporting the student experience. Ultimately, this key administrator will help the division meet our commitment to our gifted learners for a robust and diverse educational experience.
