APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO SEPTEMBER 15, 2026!

There is now more time to apply for this one-of-a-kind opportunity to be a founding participant in Jubilee College's mission and vision. This new tuition-free, residential college program rooted in Indigenous wisdom and contemplative practice is looking for a hands-on and entrepreneurially minded leader to be its first Director of Operations & Programs.

Jubilee is not looking for a certain kind of resume. It is looking for a certain kind of person — someone for whom the natural world is a genuine source of meaning, grounding, and purpose, who can think on their feet, pivot when necessary, and bring extraordinary attention to detail and follow-through. If that sounds like you, there is still time to apply.

Congratulations to Rachel E. Skiffer on being named Interim Head of School at The Berkeley School in Berkeley, CA! An accomplished independent school administrator and Head of School, Rachel brings extensive experience guiding schools through periods of growth, change, and renewal.

A careful listener and collaborative decision-maker, Rachel believes that meaningful change begins by understanding the perspectives of those closest to the work. She is equally committed to creating learning environments where students are known, appropriately challenged, and supported in taking intellectual risks.
