Principal, Education Administration

THINK Global School (TGS) is looking for its next on-site Principal to travel with and lead our global community.

TGS's mission is to reveal the innate potential of every learner through the intertwining journey of self-discovery and global exploration, challenging students to think critically and create boldly; contributing and caring for the world as actively as they move through it.

Built upon our three core pillars:
Global Immersion, Personal Pathways, and Wholebeing Development, TGS ensures learning and community life are Real, Relevant, and Deeply Relational. As a project-based and place-based school, we are actively deepening our adoption and practices in competency-based learning and assessment, prioritizing authentic personal growth and mastery.

The Principal is a values driven, "boots-on-the-ground" educational and operational leader who travels with the school and drives the day-to-day life, safety, and culture of the onsite school community. As Principal, you serve on the Executive Leadership Team alongside the Director of Operations, acting as the central leader within the onsite school community. This is not a figurehead, fundraising, or external promotion role;

rather, it demands deep, daily immersion in school operations, academic design, student life, staff support and mentorship.

The Principal is directly responsible for creating and maintaining the operational container in which TGS’s vision can flourish. You actively guide, support, and grow the collective community into that vision through hands-on leadership, rigorous programmatic execution, proactive student behavior management, and intentional culture-building. These responsibilities are managed collaboratively with the Onsite Leadership Team; and with the support and supervision of the Chief Vision Officer and TGS Board of Directors.

Creating a safe, enriching, and stable environment for the onsite school community as we travel the world, is essential to this role, as is the understanding that kindness, compassion and joy are fundamental to human potential.

  Establish and maintain the social, emotional, and operational framework ("container") that empowers students and staff to grow into TGS's mission.
• Day-to-Day Operations:
  Directly manage daily scheduling and oversee academic routines, host city logistics, and residential boarding life across rotating host countries, and communicate expectations and changes to staff in a clear and concise manner.
• Wholebeing Development & Mental Health:
  Oversee pastoral care and advisory program in coordination with the onsite counselor and onsite leadership, ensuring a healthy balance between academic challenge and personal care.
• Behavior Management & Pastoral Care:
  Directly manage student behavior and conflict resolution using restorative, connection-first practices rooted in relational intelligence and wholebeing development.
• Staff Mentorship & Collaborative Culture:
  Directly manage, mentor, observe, and evaluate onsite faculty and pastoral staff in conjunction with Onsite Leadership to foster a supportive, collaborative, and compassionate work environment.
• Faculty Management & Supervision:
  Provide clear guidance, resources and oversight through timely and actionable feedback to the Director of Futures and educators, holding them accountable to the expected delivery of the student learning experience at TGS.
• Budget & Resource Management:
  Develop and monitor onsite operational and educational budgets in coordination with the Director of Operations.
• Admissions :
  Partner with the Director of Operations and Admissions team on interviews, student intake, orientation and peer-to-peer…
