The Agency you Trust. The Services you Need.

ST Search

ST Search is a division of Southern Teachers. In recent years, more and more schools have asked for our help with leadership searches. To meet this demand, we have grown our search team, adding depth, talent, and specialized expertise. In fact, we have increased our capabilities to the point that “Southern Teachers” can now conduct retained head and leadership searches nationally, not just in the South. A new name reflecting the new stature of our search division is justified, hence, ST Search.

Why Schools Hire ST

The search for an independent school leader is a complex process, and a beneficial outcome is of paramount importance to the wellbeing of your school. Schools trust us because of our extensive record of success, our ability to reach an exceptionally broad pool of candidates via proprietary products like The Friday Evening Star, and our industry-leading expertise with personality assessments, which helps to ensure that schools hire the right candidate.

The greatest predictor for a successful search is the experience of your search consultant.
