DickersonBakker Executive Search is a top search firm and recruiter for Head of School positions

Finding the right Head of School is the most critical decision any Christian or private school will make. Many of our clients tell us they want more than a top administrator executing programs; rather, they seek an exceptional leader who is effective educationally, spiritually, and professionally. Many are also looking for a leader who is effective at raising the resources needed to grow their school.

That’s where we come in. At DickersonBakker Executive Search, we specialize in finding and recruiting exceptional leaders to serve as Head of School.

The unique challenges and opportunities of Christian and private schools are close to our hearts at DickersonBakker Executive Search. We don’t just know about who you are and what you do… we’ve lived it. Many members of our team are alumni of Christian and private schools and serve on their Boards and committees at schools where their kids now attend. Our founder, Dr. Clark Dickerson, taught at a Christian high school and has a doctorate in educational administration. And our president, Derric Bakker, cut his teeth in fundraising as a Christian school development director.

We can help you get it right. Guaranteed. Why not put our team to work for you?

“Central Texas Christian School is deeply thankful for the professional services of DickersonBakker Executive Search. With the daunting task of finding a new head of school before us, DickersonBakker Executive Search came alongside us and guided the entire process, sharing their priceless experience and easing the path forward. Our consultant was a gifted listener and from his meetings with school staff, families and board, was able to recognize our needs, verbalize our mission, and personify our vision. Through the initial phase of the interviews with candidates, we learned a great deal from watching DickersonBakker Executive Search work. Their efforts helped us to clarify our own ideals and refine our goals. As expected, we are delighted with our new Head of School and believe the Lord used DickersonBakker Executive Search to bring us to this next stage of growth and development. The entire DickersonBakker Executive Search team was professional and personal. They shared our cares and concerns, and helped us to build toward the future of Kingdom education in Central Texas. With heartfelt gratitude, we highly recommend DickersonBakker Executive Search.” Sarah Sewell - Search Committee Chair, Central Texas Christian School
