Careers

Located about 40 minutes north of Philadelphia, The Quaker School at Horsham (TQS) is a
K–12 school built for learners with complex challenges, including ADHD, learning
disabilities, autism, expressive and receptive language disorders, and anxiety disorders.
Serving about 100 students today, TQS is a place where students who have felt
misunderstood in more traditional settings can be known well, taught with care, and
supported to build a future with real options. Quaker values are lived in daily practice
through simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship, shaping a school
culture that is warm, candid, and deeply relational.

This is a moment of visible growth. A new wing, completed this fall, will expand learning
and student-support spaces and allow TQS to grow to 150 students. In parallel, the school is
advancing a visual rebrand and preparing for a new website, with an eye toward telling its
story with greater clarity, consistency, and confidence across audiences.

The director of K–12 division and transitional program (18–22) will oversee the
Meetinghouse Division, which serves students from kindergarten through upper school and
includes the Real-World Ready transition program for young adults ages 18–22. The
director supervises approximately 20 faculty serving about 70 families and reports directly
to the head of school. The role works closely with the Sassafras Division Director and the
Transition Counselor to ensure alignment across programs while maintaining a cohesive
and supportive faculty culture within the division.

Located just north of Philadelphia, The Quaker School at Horsham (TQS) is a K–22
community serving students with complex challenges, including ADHD, learning differences,
autism, and anxiety. Serving approximately 100 students, TQS provides a highly relational,
research-informed environment where students are known well, supported deeply, and
given the tools to build meaningful and independent lives. Rooted in Quaker values of
simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship, the school fosters a
culture that is warm, mission-driven, and centered on belonging.

As TQS continues to grow and expand its impact, the school is focused on strengthening its
philanthropic efforts to support both programmatic innovation and access for students and
families. Central to this work is the development of new and sustainable revenue streams
aligned with the school’s mission and long-term vision.

To support this next phase, TQS seeks an associate director of institutional giving. This role
will help lead fundraising efforts connected to a potential new federal tax credit program,
while also expanding corporate partnerships and foundation support. Although the role
may contribute to existing Pennsylvania tax credit efforts through corporate relationships,
its primary focus is the emerging federal opportunity, should it be approved in
Pennsylvania for 2027. This is a unique opportunity for a motivated, entrepreneurial
fundraiser who is energized by building new programs, engaging a wide range of
stakeholders, and delivering measurable results. The associate director will play a critical
role in expanding the school’s fundraising capacity while helping to tell the story of TQS in
compelling and mission-aligned ways.
