SUMMARY Students with learning differences do not simply need accommodation—they need an educational environment intentionally designed around how they learn best. Students with learning differences can achieve just as much as their neurotypical peers; they simply require a different path. Stanbridge Academy was founded on this belief: that when a school is purposefully structured around the needs of its students, those students can thrive academically, socially, and personally. At Stanbridge, this mission is not aspirational—it is lived daily. Founded in 1982 by speech therapist and parent Andi Jobe, the school was created to meet the needs of students who were not being served in traditional educational settings. Today, Stanbridge is a fully accredited K–12 independent school in San Mateo, California, serving approximately 85 students. Through expert faculty, curated instructional approaches, and deeply personal student relationships, Stanbridge fosters an environment where neurodivergent learners can flourish. As the only school of its kind in the Bay Area—and now with both K–12 Non-Public School (NPS) certification and an A–G compliant high school program—Stanbridge serves a diverse student body from throughout the Bay Area. Now, Stanbridge seeks its next Head of School: a gracious and strategic leader to guide the institution into its next chapter. With a gifted staff, a compelling mission, and newly expanded certifications, the school is poised for increased visibility and thoughtful growth. The next Head of School will serve as both visionary and steward—strengthening community relationships, expanding Stanbridge’s impact on neurodivergent education, elevating faculty excellence, and safeguarding the school’s deeply nurturing culture and mission alignment. For a leader passionate about advancing an empowering educational model for neurodivergent learners, Stanbridge offers a rare opportunity: to lead a truly exceptional school at the forefront of specialized education. 12M & Ed Tech Recruiting is running the search on behalf of Stanbridge Academy.
