AHB Community School is seeking to hire a highly qualified Executive Director who can build upon the success of the last eleven years and continue to chart a path of success as we continue to build our community and achieve our mission. Specifically, the Executive Director will oversee the operations and all staff and school leaders will report directly to this position. The Executive Director will report directly to the AHB Community School Board of Directors and be responsible and accountable for the schools overall performance, long-term sustainability and success in fulfilling its mission.

AHB Community School began as the idea of a dissatisfied AISD parent, Georgie Georgákis. On her quest to find an organization that could help her educate her child she found most private schools too exclusive and too similar to public schools. Conversely she found many of Austin’s alternative schools to lack the educational rigor required to provide a diverse and high quality education. So she became a reluctant homeschooler. Still craving a community and an ‘ideal educational setting,’ she founded AHB. (Learn More at ahbcs.org)

Today, AHB Community School is a small, secular private alternative school that serves 70 children ages 5-12 years old in Hyde Park – just north of UT Campus. Our mission is to offer our community a creative and collaborative educational alternative that cultivates authentic, balanced critical thinkers who are prepared for a life of learning and community engagement. AHB also offers our community access to this distinctive, high quality education with a more affordable entry point at $5500 a year for tuition.
