Admissions Coordinator

Position Description

The Smith Preparatory Academy admissions coordinator has the pleasure of bringing prospective families through the process of evaluating our classical Christian paradigm. It involves attracting families to our school using various marketing efforts like open houses and tours, as well as guiding families through our admissions process that includes application, family interview, and student assessment. A key aspect of the role is educating prospective families on how a classical Christian education exalts Christ as Lord and teaches students how to celebrate the riches of western civilization through uncovering goodness, truth, and beauty in the classics. The admissions coordinator will need to be educated on the classical Christian educational movement so he/she can articulate its merit persuasively to families.

The admissions coordinator must learn as much as possible about the school’s curriculum, educational philosophy, handbooks, teachers, and personalities so he/she can accurately communicate about the school to draw people in. Also, the coordinator must be competent with using an information system online to review applications and enrollment documents and should be competent in email etiquette with families. Moreover, this person should exhibit strong communication skills to enable him/her to carry out effective tours and open houses, as well as have confidence in facilitating interpersonal dialogue in family interviews and when administering assessments.
