New Leader for Berkshire Country Day School - December 05, 2007
LENOX - The board of trustees of Berkshire Country Day School has hired Paul Lindenmaier of Rhode Island as the new head of school after a nationwide search.
Lindemaier is head of the Lower School at Moses Brown School in Providence, an independent coeducational day school of more than 775 students through Grade 12, where he has been since 1999.
He has played an active role throughout the Moses Brown school community, serving as a member of the Administrative Council, Division Heads Committee, Cross-Divisional Program Review Committees and as chairman of the All-School Diversity, Academic Long Range Strategic Planningand Co-Curricular Program Balance committees. He also serves on the Head's Admissions Review Team and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges Self-Evaluation Steering Committee, among other committees.
Prior to Moses Brown, Lindenmaier spent six years as head of school of The School in Rose Valley (Pa.), and before that as an elementary teacher at Germantown Friends School, an independent day school in Philadelphia, and at a public school in Vermont.
He holds a master's degree in educational leadership from Arcadia University in Glenside, Pa., where he graduated with distinction in 1997, and a bachelor's degree from Goddard College in Plainfield, Vt., where he received his elementary teaching certification.
Lindenmaier will take up his new position on July 1, 2008, succeeding Rob Peterson. He will be relocating to the Berkshires with his wife, Margaret, 15-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son, who will enter BCD's third-grade class in the 2008-09 school year.
"Lindenmaier's unanimous selection as BCD's next head of school follows a comprehensive four-month nationwide search process which attracted a number of strong candidates interested in our school," said Sion Boney, president of the board of trustees. "We all feel strongly that Paul embodies the combination of experience, vision, and energy that we as a community are looking for in a head of school to build on the 60-plus years of tradition and educational excellence that has made BCD such a unique and outstanding independent school."
"I was honored to learn that I had been selected as the next head of school at Berkshire Country Day School and am enthusiastic about the prospects of working with such a talented and dedicated group of educators, trustees, and parents," said Lindenmaier. "BCD's reputation, extraordinary programs, and demonstrated commitment to excellence in academics, the performing and visual arts, and all other aspects of learning attracted my interest and were affirmed during the search process."
The independent school, established in 1946, offers prekindergarten through ninth grade. The school community is dedicated to encouraging academic excellence at the highest level, advancing each student's unique potential for well-rounded development, and fostering responsive and responsible citizenship, according to the school's leaders.
