St. Jerome Institute High School The St. Jerome Institute is a private, independent high school opening in the Fall of 2019. SJI’s distinctive approach is grounded in a Christ-centered, liberal arts curriculum that engages the classical tradition while also addressing contemporary educational concerns. Designed in a seminar format, the curriculum is a unified, four-year program of study that integrates subjects to provide more context, deeper understanding, and greater mastery than a typical lecture style. At SJI we believe that education fundamentally involves the formation of the human person.  Beneath every class, every lesson lies our great responsibility to more deeply engage the question of each student’s destiny and purpose. Children in our society have been underestimated – not merely in terms of what they can come to know or understand, but also in their capacity to love.  At SJI, we give students from many communities the opportunity to strike out beyond the cynical, the tired, and the trite offerings so frequently designated to them, so that they may dare to gaze in wonder and awe at the great gift of the world around them. A creative and strategic fundraising program will be key as we work to make this unique educational program accessible to as many different children as possible.  Learn more about our program and apply for the Director of Development position at https://stjeromeinstitute.org/ Director of Development (part-time, 15-20 hours a week) Reporting to and in partnership with the Headmaster (HM), the Development Director (Director) will spearhead development efforts as the St. Jerome Institute enters its founding school year.  Responsibilities Articulate and represent the vision, mission and culture of SJI.
