About the Organization

For more than a century, the Sisters of St. Joseph Brentwood have lived a mission rooted in love, unity, and service - building ministries that educate, heal, and uplift communities across generations. Since establishing their presence in New York in 1896, the Sisters have founded schools, colleges, hospitals, social service organizations, and community initiatives that have touched countless lives locally and globally. Education remains central to that mission. The Sisters sponsor four all-girls, college-preparatory academies: Sacred Heart Academy (Hempstead, NY), The Mary Louis Academy (Queens, NY), Fontbonne Hall Academy (Brooklyn, NY), and Academia Maria Reina (San Juan, PR). Each school advances the mission of the Sisters while serving distinct communities, cultures, and student populations. Together, they form a network committed to academic excellence, faith formation, leadership development, and access to opportunity, with nearly all graduates pursuing higher education and carrying forward the values of service, confidence, and purpose instilled through their experience.

The Opportunity

The Sisters of St. Joseph Brentwood seek an Executive Director of CSJ Sponsored Schools to provide strategic oversight on behalf of the Board of Members (Congregation’s Leadership Council) for its four all-girls Catholic, college preparatory schools across New York and Puerto Rico. This role emerges from two years of thoughtful planning led by a volunteer executive advisory group convened by the Sisters to assess financial sustainability, enrollment trends, and future opportunities for the schools. The Executive Director will bring both strong business acumen and deep understanding of private education systems to advise on financial sustainability, enrollment strategies, nonprofit board governance, marketing & fundraising, capital planning, and operational effectiveness — helping position each school to thrive and continually evolve for generations to come while honoring its distinct identity and mission.

Location, Compensation and Benefits

This is an on-site position based in Floral Park, New York, with travel to other school locations in Jamaica Estates, Hempstead, Brooklyn, and Puerto Rico as needed. The salary range for this opportunity is $175,000 - $225,000, commensurate with experience and qualifications.
