Position: Grade 11-12 Learning Leader & DP Coordinator (to begin August 2026)
Reports to: High School Principal
Position Overview
The Grade 11–12 Learning Leader & DP Coordinator provides pedagogical leadership for the final two years of High School, ensuring excellence in teaching, learning, and assessment across all subject areas. This role is responsible for the effective implementation of the IB Diploma Programme (DP) as well as the overall quality of the academic experience in Grades 11–12.
Working in close partnership with Heads of Department—the pedagogical leaders of their respective subject areas—the Learning Leader guides faculty in delivering engaging, rigorous, and inclusive learning experiences that meet the diverse needs of all students.
This role requires close collaboration with other members of the High School Leadership Team and faculty to ensure that the IB Diploma Programme functions effectively alongside complementary offerings (ie, alternative pathways to graduation). The Learning Leader ensures that students taking individual IB courses rather than the full Diploma are appropriately challenged, supported, and valued within CA's broader academic landscape.
The Learning Leader is a key member of the High School Leadership Team, working collaboratively with the Principal, Vice Principal, Counselors, and the Learning Leader/MYP Coordinator. In addition to leadership responsibilities, the role includes approximately 40% teaching in a subject area to be determined.

- Support faculty in implementing effective formative and summative assessment practices.
- Facilitate professional learning and cross-department collaboration focused on improving student outcomes in Grades 11–12.
