  • Ransom Everglades School
    RANSOM EVERGLADES SCHOOL Coconut Grove, Florida Director of Advancement Start Date: on or before July 1, 2020 www.ransomeverglades.org OVERVIEW Ransom Everglades School, a Grade 6-12 independent day school with 1,106 students in Coconut Grove, Florida, is a top-tier private school with a public purpose, combining unique and rigorous college preparation with a commitment to improving the community and the world. Widely considered one of the best schools in Florida and the nation, Ransom Everglades boasts a highly diverse student body, a talented and committed faculty, and a remarkable greater-Miami location on Biscayne Bay. Guided by the words of founder Paul C. Ransom, a follower of John Dewey, Ransom Everglades produces graduates who “believe that they are in the world not so much for what they can get out of it as for what they can put into it.” Through a truly innovative curriculum, the mission of Ransom Everglades is to provide an educational environment in which the pursuit or honor, academic excellence, and intellectual growth is complemented by concern for the physical, cultural, and character development of each student. Developing each student’s leadership capabilities is equally important. Almost all students participate in service programs — many of which are conceived, funded, staffed, and led by students. In everything it does, Ransom Everglades strives for excellence. The Advancement Office serves as a critical element in these efforts. To this end, the School seeks a new Director of Advancement to work with Head of School Penny Townsend, the Board of Trustees, volunteers, and Advancement staff and increase overall engagement and philanthropic support.
