The ideal candidate demonstrates flexibility, initiative, and a collaborative spirit, and is committed to supporting students across a range of developmental needs. A bachelor’s degree is required. This position reports to the Lower School Principal and works closely with faculty to uphold the mission and values of Villa Duchesne.
