Upper Canada College (UCC) is recognized globally as one of North America’s foremost boys’ schools. Educating tomorrow’s leaders since , UCC is an International Baccalaureate (IB) Continuum World School for day and boarding students from senior kindergarten through university entrance. Modern and forward-thinking, UCC provides transformational learning experiences that foster the development of head, heart, and humanity, and inspire each boy to make a lasting and positive impact on his world. UCC delivers a rigorous academic program supported by accomplished faculty and staff, exceptional co-curricular programming, and state-of-the-art facilities. UCC offers congratulations to Jeff Aitken, the current Head, Upper School, who will take up the post of Head of School, St. Michaels University School, in the summer of .

The next Head of UCC’s Upper School will build on success to lead excellence in teaching and learning and inspire a culture that exemplifies UCC’s values of learning, pluralism, service, community, and wellbeing. This role also presents the opportunity to co-lead the implementation of two graduation pathways being introduced in addition to the IB Diploma Programme Pathway: the IB Diploma Programme Courses Pathway, and the IB Diploma Programme Systems Transformation Pathway (a Programme being offered by only four schools globally).

Being the Head of UCC’s Upper School is akin to running your own complex, well-resourced school with over students (in grades 8 through 12) and over employees. This role oversees a broad range of functions including faculty recruitment and development, program delivery, budgeting, boarding, university counseling, and parent relations. At the same time, you will work closely and collaboratively with the Principal and other members of UCC’s senior leadership team to advance the strategic goals of the entire College and its 1, students. Among its strategic goals is UCC’s ambition to become more diverse and inclusive. This is supported by a recognition that no learning community is whole without the inclusion and amplification of multiple voices; UCC is committed to fostering belonging, striving for justice and peace among all people, and addressing systemic and structural forms of oppression.

You are an academic leader in a progressive, high-performance school. Your educational leadership experience in academic, co-curricular, and community service programs will enable you to support the learning and social needs of UCC’s Upper School students. An insightful strategist, inspiring educator, and collegial leader, you will attract and engage with faculty and staff who are energized by attempting fresh approaches, connecting with students, serving the community, and delivering all-round excellence in teaching and mentorship. You are a life-long learner and a nuanced, non-linear thinker with experience in change management. Internationally minded and committed to shared guardianship of the planet, you are compassionate, culturally competent, and prepared to have brave conversations about identity and marginalization. If you are ready to grow as a leader, this is a role with real impact: an opportunity to ensure that each Upper School boy is supported and readied on every step of his path toward graduation, post-secondary, and the life beyond.
