Welcome

The Evergreen School, an independent school serving highly capable students in preschool through 8th grade, is currently accepting applications for an Associate Director of Enrollment Management for Outreach and Engagement.

Our Mission 
We inspire highly capable, creative learners to lead with curiosity, compassion, and courage in a diverse and dynamic world. 

About the Organization
Located just north of Seattle in Shoreline, Washington, The Evergreen School has been educating highly capable, creative learners for over 60 years. Our students love to ask questions, and our teachers use that natural curiosity to craft engaging lessons and spark thought-provoking conversations. Evergreen’s program infuses challenging academics with foundational support for social skills, emotional well-being, a multicultural perspective, and empathy for others. Our students think deeply, take intellectual risks, and tackle complex problems. They learn how to self-advocate, collaborate with others, and understand and respect differences. Evergreen graduates move on to high school and beyond with confidence, ready to contribute to a diverse and dynamic world. 

Community
Our community members at Evergreen value and embrace the dignity and diversity of all people. We actively seek and support students, families, faculty, staff, and trustees who bring a diversity of identity into our community. Our mission makes it essential that we skillfully deliver an inclusive educational program that teaches respect for others, empowers students of all backgrounds equitably, encourages social responsibility, and prepares students to be leaders in an interdependent global community. At Evergreen, our goal is to curate a culture where every family feels fully welcomed and encouraged to participate in every aspect of the community. The school community is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion work; it is a place where all faculty and staff are required to complete training through the National SEED Project within the first three years of their employment. 

The Opportunity
It is an exciting time to be joining The Evergreen School as a new early childhood building will be opening in the fall of 2026 to house its existing but expanding PS-K grades. It will also be the location of the offices for the enrollment management team! This building project is the culmination of multiple years of investment in our early childhood years that started with a review of our pedagogy, curriculum, schedule, documentation, assessment, screening practices, and so much more. Our goal is to be an exemplar in the education of highly capable students in these early childhood years, and we are well on our way to achieving it!

The associate director of enrollment management for outreach and engagement will serve a vital role in shaping and implementing Evergreen’s admission strategy, focusing on outreach initiatives, community engagement, and event management. Reporting directly to the director of enrollment management, this position will help increase Evergreen’s visibility, strengthen relationships with prospective families, and support the school’s enrollment growth objectives.

Working closely with the director of enrollment management and associate director of enrollment management and financial aid, this individual is part of a dynamic, three-person Enrollment Management Department. In addition to helping families navigate the admission process, the associate director will lead the EM team’s communication efforts to ensure cohesive messaging, support Evergreen’s digital presence, and build brand awareness across key markets. This individual is also responsible for the successful execution of Open House events, tour management, monthly admission communications, and other admissions outreach efforts. This position requires a creative and organized individual who is enthusiastic about working in a collaborative environment to meet the school’s enrollment and engagement goals.

In all of their work, the associate director must be committed to helping advance Evergreen’s strategic priorities by contributing to innovative programming, building brand awareness, and fostering inclusivity and access, particularly for diverse and marginalized communities.
