The Rashi School, Greater Boston’s Reform Jewish Independent School, serving students in grades Pre-K-8, seeks an Interim Lower School Dean for the 2026-2027 school year.
Reporting to the Assistant Head of School for Academic Operations and Culture, the Interim Lower School Dean has primary oversight for the student and family experience in Grades Pre-K-5.
This is an interim position with the search for a permanent Lower School Dean beginning in late Fall 2026.
In our warm and inclusive community, children are appreciated for who they are as they learn and develop their identities.
With the school’s foundation of rigorous academics and differentiated instruction and a mission rooted in social justice, we want our students to ask the tough questions—not just the who, what, where, but the how, why, and what can I do to fix it?
Rashi graduates have the confidence to try new things and to fail forward.
With kindness at their core, they become empowered learners, change agents, global Jewish citizens, and good friends.
Rashi’s Lower School uses a collaborative teaching model to promote students’ academic, social, and emotional growth by nurturing an environment that promotes risk taking, flexibility, adaptability, empathy, and resilience through collaborative teaching which models behaviors of the adults.
We seek to employ faculty and staff with diverse backgrounds who model these traits and our core values for our students and are eager to support Rashi in fulfilling its mission.
