Description
South Baldwin Christian Academy (SBCA) is currently seeking candidates for the Secondary Principal position for the 2019-2020 school year. This position is responsible for the Middle and High School and will work closely with the Elementary Principal. Due to a growing student body, expanding enrichment and credit classes, and more extra curricula offerings, SBCA is increasing its leadership structure to a Secondary and Elementary Principal. The Secondary Principal will also serve as the Headmaster and report to the Board of Directors.
The Secondary Principal must be in agreement with and demonstrate leadership in carrying out SBCA’s Statement of Faith, Mission, and Commitments. SBCA is unique in that it is multi-denominational and not associated with a single church. Instead, SBCA is a community-based Christian academy that serves our local community by collaborating with churches, community members, and parents to graduate students who are both academically and spiritually prepared to succeed and become confident, self-directed, lifelong learners.
