LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY

•Only application received via the following application link will be considered: https://strategenius.my.site.com/jobboard/s?jobId=a0MV1000004FUptMAG Burgundy Farm Country Day School, a progressive JK-8 school set on a pastoral 26-acre former dairy farm just outside Washington, D.C., seeks a relational, strategic, and community-centered leader to serve as its next Director of Admissions. Burgundy offers something genuinely rare in the competitive DC metropolitan independent schools market: an education that is experiential, joyfully student-centered, and academically rigorous. For a mission-driven admissions leader, this is an opportunity to join a school where children are known as whole people, where a close-knit community of students, families, faculty, and alumni is central to the experience, and where the work of admissions carries real impact for the school's future. Burgundy enters its next chapter with real momentum and a clear-eyed sense of the work ahead.

Enrollment growth is the priority:

expanding the school's reach across the greater DMV region, telling Burgundy's story and impact, connecting with communities and families who may not yet know Burgundy, and building a broader and more diverse enrollment pipeline. Equally important is helping families understand that Burgundy's progressive, experiential approach produces graduates who are academically and socially prepared and who thrive and contribute in diverse ways to their high school communities. Burgundy graduates are in demand for their remarkable talents, and through them, Burgundy makes a special contribution to the DMV community and to the world. That is a story worth telling with clarity and conviction, and the incoming Director will be its primary author. As Burgundy enters its 80th year, the School must be enrolled more fully in order to thrive for another 80. For the right leader, this is a chance to shape how one of the region's most distinctive schools is known and to build a strong maximum enrollment. Reporting to Head of School Jeff Sindler and serving as a member of the Administrative Team, the Director of Admissions leads all aspects of enrollment management, including recruitment, admissions, financial aid, and re-enrollment, while supervising the Admissions Coordinator and partnering closely with colleagues across the school. This is a role that sits at the intersection of relationship and strategy, requiring someone who is equally at home building a connection with a prospective family and architecting a long-term enrollment plan. It calls for a leader who moves through the community with genuine curiosity and care, who becomes a true student of what makes Burgundy distinctive, and who brings both the vision to imagine what Burgundy's enrollment future could look like and the drive to make it real. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with priority given to those submitted by Friday, May 15, 2026.
