Executive Director

This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and visionary individual to lead the flagship Horizons program at New Canaan Country School (NCCS) in New Canaan, Connecticut. The Executive Director will set the strategic vision for Horizons at NCCS’s work, build and lead a high-performing team of six and a summer staff of over 100, and engage with a wide array of stakeholders (students, families, teachers, board members, alumni, donors, and national and local partners). Horizons at NCCS is a part of New Canaan Country School and, as such, the program benefits from the resources (physical, human, financial, community) that exist at NCCS. This critical role reports to the NCCS Head of School, in partnership with the Horizons at NCCS Board Chair. The Executive Director is uniquely positioned to advance the organization’s mission of transforming the lives of underserved children and youth through year-round academic and enrichment programs to inspire learning, encourage success, and close the opportunity gap.
