Enrollment Manager

About the School:

Kennedy International School provides a bilingual, well-rounded education for its students from preschool through 12th grade. We pride ourselves on the strength of our faculty, the diversity of our student body, and our cultural richness. Through our individualized approach to instruction, thanks to our small student-teacher ratio, students are encouraged to leverage their personal strengths and passions as they develop their language and academic knowledge.

Position Overview:

This role involved strategic enrollment work and day to day work in admissions – local marketing and recruitment, tours, and developing relationships with French-speaking cultural communities. The school seeks a proactive, engaging enrollment manager with strong organizational skills, efficient work style, and who is either fluent in French or a native speaker. 

The Enrollment Manager plays an essential role in advancing the mission and growth of Kennedy International School. The position focuses primarily on student recruitment and admissions, while also leading retention initiatives and enrollment-related events that strengthen continuity across divisions from Preschool through High School. As Kennedy International School is a small and close-knit community, the Enrollment Manager manages their own department and works independently while maintaining close collaboration with the Head of School, division directors, and the Marketing Department. The role ensures that enrollment strategies are effective, data-driven, and reflective of the School’s bilingual and international identity. 

This is a full-time, on-site position, and the Enrollment Manager is expected to work part of the summer to support ongoing admissions and re-enrollment operations. The start date is flexible, with the possibility of an immediate appointment or a start from July/early August 2026.

• Lead retention efforts and initiatives, including re-enrollment coordination, transition events between divisions, and programs that support student continuity. 
• Maintain accurate admissions and enrollment data and prepare regular updates for the Head of School. 

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree required; prior experience in school admissions or recruitment required. 
• Native or near-native command of French and fluency in English required; additional languages (Japanese or Spanish) are a plus.
