Associate Head of School for Curriculum, Community, and Culture

Keys School
palo alto, cA

July 2025

Keys School, a K–8 independent school in the heart of Silicon Valley, is seeking an empathetic, strategic, and dynamic leader to serve as its inaugural Associate Head of School for Curriculum, Community, and Culture (AHCCC). 

Since its inception, Keys has been a pioneer in social-emotional learning, and our commitment to developing emotional intelligence skills is what separates Keys from other schools. Students won’t find these strategies in a once-a-week class. At Keys they’ll find these strategies, in addition to a vibrant curriculum, deliberately embedded in each subject they encounter, laying the foundation for students to soar academically.

— Heather Rogers, Head of School
