Head of School

TASIS Portugal has launched a search for it's next Head of School, whose term will start July 1, 2027. 

TASIS Portugal is the newest campus of the family foundation established by M. Crist Fleming, an American educator and philanthropist, who founded The American School in Switzerland (TASIS) in 1956. Thegoal of the school was “to give students strong preparation for American colleges and universities, with the additional dimension of exposure to cultures and training in languages other than their own.”

TASIS Portugal is, quite literally, a dream come true! Founded a short six years ago, the school, flourishes with over 950 students, a beautiful new campus home, a stunning location, and a compelling set of enviable and positive predictors for its next chapter.

The school is well poised to launch a leadership search for July 2027. An experienced, highly qualified Interim Head of School has been appointed for the 2026/27 school year to respond to the recent ISM survey and build on the school’s early success, thereby laying the groundwork for the new head of school. 

The school welcomes applications of interest. Please be in contact with RG175 consultants Coreen Hester, chester@rg175.com, and John Farber, jfarber@rg175.com, for next steps in the search process.
