Executive Officer

The Accelerated
Schools

Los Angeles,
California

The Accelerated
Schools (TAS), a leading charter school cluster in South Los
Angeles that serves students in grades TK-12, seeks a strategic,
tested, and inspirational leader to serve as its next Chief
Executive Officer (CEO). In partnership with a dedicated board of
trustees, a highly effective leadership team, and a deeply talented
staff, the CEO will build upon TAS’ core commitments to academic
excellence and strong community engagement to deliver the highest
quality educational experience and outcomes for TAS students.

Founded in 1994, as one of the first charter schools in
California, TAS was guided then, and the charter cluster still is
today, by the founding belief that all students can excel when
nurtured in an environment that combines high expectations and
active involvement from parents and the community. Through an
innovative, rigorous curriculum coupled with intentional guidance
and instruction, TAS strives to graduate students who are lifelong
learners and engaged citizens, well-prepared to succeed in college
and beyond. The next CEO will inherit a dynamic community of three
schools located on the same street, with state-of-the-art, modern
campuses, and separate charters — brought to life by 1,770 students
and 231 staff, with a positive reputation, top-notch facilities,
and an exceptionally strong financial position—poised for continued
success.

In its next CEO, TAS seeks a highly skilled educational leader
who will partner with stakeholders across the organization to
develop a galvanizing and inclusive strategic vision for the
schools’ next chapter. The CEO will model transparent and
collaborative leadership, will cultivate a strong sense of
community and belonging across the organization, and will set a
high bar and ambitious goals for TAS’ future—all in service of
providing the very best academic experience for the schools’
students. The CEO will be an effective manager of people and
processes; will work towards consensus and act decisively when
needed; will celebrate the diversity of TAS’ community and foster a
culture in which every community member feels valued, seen, and
heard; and will represent TAS effectively, and with enthusiasm,
with current and prospective families, community leaders, and
partners across Los Angeles.
