Wilmington Christian School (WCS) is a Christ-centered, college-preparatory school serving students from early learning through grade 12 on a beautiful 15+ acre campus in Hockessin, Delaware. Founded in 1946, WCS provides a distinctively Christian, innovative education that effectively develops Godly influencers who are well prepared for life after high school and who impact the culture for Christ. Building on the foundation of Scriptural truth, WCS teaches students to grow in Christian character, to excel in academic proficiency, and to foster mentoring relationships. To carry out this religious mission, Wilmington Christian School employs like-minded people who, through their speech, conduct, and ministry to students, will further our religious purpose and beliefs.
Wilmington Christian School is seeking its next Head of School to begin as early as July 2026. Reporting to the Board of Directors, the incoming Head of School will enjoy working with a team that is highly motivated to pursue the mission-aligned initiatives that have been implemented in the last 5+ years. The ideal candidate will have a successful track record of executive-level leadership, a commitment to long-term stewardship of the school’s mission, and an uncompromising commitment to the Word of God as the basis for all endeavors of the school.
We believe that to flourish as humans made in the image of God, individuals must perceive and interact with all of His creation through the lens of Scripture. Doing so reflects a commitment to the Lordship of Christ and demonstrates the nature, character, and works of God to the community and to the world.
We are committed to providing the highest quality academic program available, in which students’ God-given design is matched with exceptional learning experiences in and out of the classroom. Great teaching which maximizes learning includes: engaging lessons, challenging courses, intentional mentoring, and a highly individualized approach to learning which honors each student’s unique gifts and potential.
We want our students to become Godly influencers, having a positive and restorative impact on the culture. We believe that the foundational elements for creating and cultivating this kind of influence are Christ-like character, vocational proficiency, and the ability to develop meaningful relationships with others.
We believe a Christian school community must be marked by honest, engaging relationships and a clear understanding of mutual commitments and responsibilities. In situations when an individual fails to live, learn, and serve in alignment with community values and expectations, we extend grace with love, which means to provide: significant support for success; appropriate discipline and accountability; and a merciful posture towards one another.
