Our Mission

Allegiant Prep Academy educates all students in grades K-8 through rigorous academics, character development, and a commitment to community necessary for college success and a life of positive action. 

The Opportunity

In February of 2021, the current Founder/Head of School worked on a sustainability plan to ensure (1) staff and families continue to have access to resources, and (2) that a mission aligned successor is identified to assume the Head of School position starting in the 2023-2024 School Year. The Head of School Fellow has the opportunity to engage in a 1-year residency with our organization in preparation for assuming the Head of School role. This individual will spend the year working directly with the Founder/Head of School to internalize the key staples of our culture of high expectations, while also assuming school level leadership responsibilities.

Why You’ll Love Us

Academics – Academic excellence for every child sits at the center for our work. APA offers all scholars challenging, college prep content, along with the support and encouragement necessary to master it. We believe every child will achieve greatness when they are equally challenged, supported, and held to high expectations while being respected as humans. 

Character – A focus on modeling our Core Values at all times, most importantly during times of distress. APA knows that to succeed in life, scholars must have a sound moral compass that guides their decisions. We go beyond a foundation of academic skills and knowledge with the development of our Core values – Respect, Responsibility, Perseverance, Unity, and Integrity. 

Achieving big dreams takes hard work and a team effort. Our approach to education and the genuine partnership we build with our families means the possibilities for APA scholars are unlimited. 

Why We’ll Love You

You love children. You are deeply committed to working with young people and are unwavering in your optimism about what they are capable of. You believe love for a child is best shown through delivering on the promise of a consistent, high quality education in which all scholars achieve.

Further, you are crazy about all students achieving mastery of that content and are deeply committed to being the instructional leader as a Head of School. 

You love working with people. Your experience has shown you that an investment in people and culture can lead to transformative change in an organization. You proactively build meaningful and authentic relationships, which positions you to effectively support and motivate those around you. You push people to achieve more than they could or would on their own because you care about them. 

You want to be the best. You care deeply about mastering your craft and take full ownership over your growth and development. You get a little better every day because you are invested in truly becoming the best at what you do. 

You never give up. When things feel impossible, you roll up your sleeves, ready to do anything necessary to make them a reality because you know failure is not an option. You are calm and level-headed with an unyielding sense of optimism. You take on challenges and find a way to get to the finish line. 

You operate with deep humility. While you carry skills and knowledge from previous experiences, you humbly reflect on new learning and are open to change if it means getting better. You ask questions, listen, and learn from families, team members and other leaders.
