Job Description:

Principal/Head Administrator of School Crosspoint Christian School (Hosanna Christian, Triad School)
Klamath Falls, Oregon Application Deadline: Open until filled
Salary Range: $58,000-$72,000
Description: Crosspoint Christian School, established in 2020, is the unification of Hosanna Christian School and Triad School in Klamath Falls, Oregon. The mission of Crosspoint Christian is to provide a Christ-centered education for children from pre-school to 12th grade in a setting that develops the entire student—spirit, mind, and body. Graduates will be fully equipped, prepared academically, and possess the depth of character to thrive in a college, career, or vocational environment. During the 2020-2021 academic year we have remained on two separate campuses to accommodate covid-19 protocols. We intend to open in Fall 2021 on the Gatewood campus, formerly the location of Hosanna Christian School with approximately 325 students. This position as head administrator is supported by a vice principal/athletic director for middle-high school and a vice principal with duties as pre-school director, academic mentor for elementary grades, and test coordinator. The successful candidate will lead the school toward Crosspoint's vision to prepare students for a lifetime of learning and service to God, assisting them in developing their unique talents, gifts, and interests. Students will have opportunities to participate in fine arts, sciences, athletics, and community engagement. Technology will be integrated throughout our curriculum and we will maintain a facility that reflects and enhances our mission. Our vision is that tuition assistance will be available so that no student is turned away from Crosspoint due to lack of financial support.

This is a full-time 12- month position, beginning July 1.
