The Head of Boarding provides strategic and operational leadership for the Leipzig International School Boarding House, creating a home away from home where every boarder feels safe, known, supported, and able to thrive.
Working closely with the Senior Leadership Team and colleagues across the school, the Head of Boarding ensures that boarding is an integral part of the learner experience at LIS. The role fosters a culture of belonging, wellbeing, independence, and personal responsibility while ensuring the Boarding House operates safely, effectively, and in accordance with all relevant legal, safeguarding, and regulatory requirements.
Leipzig International School is a learning community where people feel known and there is a genuine sense of belonging. Learning, and the experience our learners have each day, sit at the heart of everything we do.
The Boarding House extends this commitment beyond the school day, providing a supportive residential community where learners develop independence, build meaningful relationships, and experience a true home away from home.
