Job Description:
The Athenian School - Danville, California - Full time SUMMARY
Internationalism. Democracy. Environmentalism. Adventure.
Leadership. Service. These are the pillars of Round Square, an
international network of 180+ schools in 50+ countries that The
Athenian School co-founded. Athenian, a grades 6-12 day and
boarding independent school located on 75 acres near the rolling
East Bay hills of the San Francisco Bay Area, has been living out
its mission of experiential learning as a Round Square school since

creating an invitation for faculty to experience and explore new
ideas than it is about deploying hardware for the sake of rapid
change. Athenian seeks a director of educational technology who is

design and implementation - from both an instructional and systems
point of view. The job includes oversight of two IT professionals
and affords the opportunity to collaborate with numerous
coordinators, deans, and directors working in different
co-curricular domains. The next director of educational technology
at Athenian will start July 1, 2021. For more information please
