Director of Enrollment Management

Director Of Enrollment Management

Kingsley Montessori School, a Montessori independent school serving students from Toddler through Grade 6 in Boston's historic Back Bay, seeks a Director of Enrollment Management who is a relationship-driven strategist and systems thinker, capable of clarifying and communicating a nuanced school identity, strengthening family trust, and aligning internal stakeholders, all while building a cohesive, data-informed enrollment and retention program across a multi-division, evolving Montessori rooted school.

Widely regarded as the early childhood and elementary school of choice for families in Boston, Kingsley offers a uniquely powerful combination of Montessori principles and progressive education within a close-knit, urban community. With approximately 300 students across two campus buildings on Fairfield and Exeter Streets, Kingsley delivers a dynamic, child-centered academic experience grounded in deep respect for each learner's developmental journey.

Kingsley's campus includes enchanting, thoughtfully prepared learning spaces and access to nearby cultural and natural resources, allowing for meaningful experiential learning in the heart of the city. The school's programs are rooted in Montessori principles while integrating current best practices in education, resulting in a dynamic and balanced academic experience. With a mission centered on preparing students to confidently embrace their future, Kingsley is a place where educators can make a lasting impact.

The Director of Enrollment Management is a high-impact leadership role at a moment of institutional momentum. Kingsley's distinctive blend of Montessori foundations and evolving, research-informed practice offers a compelling educational experience, one that requires thoughtful articulation, consistent messaging, and careful stewardship of the family journey. The Director will serve as both architect and ambassador of that experience, ensuring that prospective and current families alike understand, value, and remain deeply connected to the school's mission.

Working in close partnership with the Head of School and senior leadership, the Director will lead all aspects of enrollment management, including admissions, re-enrollment, financial aid strategy, and family engagement. Just as importantly, the Director will help cultivate a shared, school-wide understanding that enrollment is an institutional responsibility, one rooted in relationships, clarity of purpose, and alignment between promise and practice.

Opportunities and challenges include deepening a high-touch, relationship-driven admission and enrollment experience, sharpening and amplifying Kingsley's market identity, sustaining and evolving a partnership-centered family journey, strengthening internal collaboration and faculty engagement in enrollment, advancing systems, planning, and data-informed execution, and ensuring mission-aligned enrollment and student support.

Desired qualifications and attributes include professional experience in enrollment management, leadership and strategic capacity, relational intelligence and communication, and commitment to mission and community.
