Head of School – Clarifying Questions

As you move into the second round of the Head of School interview process at Agape Christian Academy, we’re looking to better understand how your personal walk with Christ shapes your leadership, how you think through complex theological and cultural issues, and how you build healthy teams and communities. The questions ahead are meant to draw out your convictions, experiences, and vision—especially as they relate to leading a school with a clear biblical foundation and a theologically diverse community. We appreciate your continued interest in this role and look forward to learning more about how God has prepared you for this kind of leadership.
