Educational Directions

Educational Directions, established in 1986, is a nationally recognized educational consulting firm and a known leader in retained search for heads, presidents and directors of independent schools. We have assisted with over 400 head of school searches in 40 different states. As a research-based organization specializing in independent schools, we provide leadership and organizational assessments that include a mission alignment process to develop leadership and organizational capacity at critical inflection points for independent education and schools. Educational Directions publishes The Blue Sheet (for Head of School positions) and The Green Sheet (for Senior Administrative positions). Over 90% of new heads of school learn about their new position from The Blue Sheet, the only comprehensive listing of head of school positions for independent schools. The Green Sheet lists administrative positions such as Assistant Head of School, Division Director, Dean, College Counselor, Director of Athletics, Director of Development, Alumni Affairs, Teaching & Learning, and Department Chairs. You’ll find the most comprehensive listing of administrative opportunities with EduD’s Blue & Green Sheets.
