Director of Marketing & Community Engagement
SUMMARY
Located about 40 minutes north of Philadelphia, The Quaker School at Horsham (TQS) is a K–12 community built for learners with complex challenges, including ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, expressive and receptive language disorders, and anxiety disorders. Serving about 100 students today, TQS is a place where students who have felt misunderstood in more traditional settings can be known well, taught with care, and supported to build a future with real options. Quaker values are lived in daily practice through simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship, shaping a school culture that is warm, candid, and deeply relational.
This is a moment of visible growth. A new wing, set to open this fall, will expand learning and student-support spaces and allow TQS to grow enrollment into the mid 100s. With a visual rebrand and a new website underway, the school is also focused on strengthening community engagement and family connection, ensuring that communications and shared experiences keep pace with the school’s growth.
To support its next chapter of growth and evolution, TQS seeks a director of marketing and community engagement, a newly created position reporting to the director of development. This is a unique opportunity for a strategic, hands-on leader who enjoys both building and doing. The director will assess what is working across marketing and communications, and then lean in to strengthen systems, clarify cadence, and elevate execution. The director will play a central role in shaping and stewarding the school’s emerging brand, bringing greater cohesion and professionalism to communications while preserving the warmth and mission centered culture that defines TQS. By refining how families experience information and community touchpoints and sharpening the school’s public facing narrative, especially around its differentiated program and student impact, this leader will help ensure that the story of TQS is told with clarity, authenticity, and purpose.
