Schools

Schools have become increasingly complex institutions with multiple demands, priorities, and opportunities.

Today’s school leaders need a diverse range of skills and experience to navigate this complexity and provide the leadership necessary for their students and staff to thrive.

Odgers Berndtson’s Global Schools Practice has a strong track record of identifying, attracting, and recruiting exceptional, diverse, and sometimes unexpected candidates to lead independent, international, and state-funded schools across the world. Our executive search specialists work at the most senior levels of those institutions, drawing on the reach and resources of our global network to find the best talent available.

Canada

With a reputation for producing a highly educated workforce, Canada has a world-class school system offering outstanding curricular & co-curricular programming.

However, there remain challenges for Canadian schools. With high rates of retirement expected over the next decade, there is increasing pressure on schools both to develop talent internally and to expand their recruiting efforts to reach outstanding leaders across the globe.

Odgers Berndtson advises schools on how best to meet their leadership needs. Our team of education specialists work with schools to identify and develop talent internally, while our international reach gives clients access to top leaders from across the world.
