Celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2026, Neuchâtel Junior College offers a transformative academic and cultural experience like no other. Located in the picturesque heart of Switzerland, we blend the Ontario Grade 12 curriculum with immersive, real-world learning opportunities. Our school provides an intimate and highly personalized learning environment where each student is known, supported, and challenged.
Students spend their final year of high school or a gap year earning Ontario Secondary School Diploma credits while living with French-speaking host families. This experience not only facilitates fluency in French but also offers deep exposure to European culture and lifestyle.
Anchored in academic excellence, global citizenship, and leadership development, Neuchâtel Junior College prepares students not just for university but for life. Our small class sizes, extensive travel throughout Europe, and commitment to experiential learning foster independence, intellectual curiosity, and a lasting sense of purpose that defines the Neuchâtel experience.
With the current Head departing after two successful terms, we are seeking a dynamic new Head of School to elevate Neuchâtel to the next level of excellence. The Head will oversee all aspects of school academics and operations, ensuring cohesion among recruitment and admissions, the academic program, student life, and advancement and alumni relations.
The ideal candidate will possess strong leadership and operational skills, along with an innovative mindset. An adventurous spirit and a caring nature are essential to ensure that Neuchâtel continues to transform the lives of its students. Good judgment and strong relational skills will be crucial in maintaining the joyful environment at our school.
Fluency in English is required, and the candidate should be comfortable conversing in French or be willing to improve their French language skills.
We welcome candidates who bring diverse perspectives and experiences to apply online using the form below. Only applications matching the job profile will be considered.
The Search Committee will begin reviewing candidates in late August, with the new Head expected to assume office in the summer of 2026. Join us in shaping the future of Neuchâtel Junior College!
