Chinese American International School - San Francisco, California - Full time
Founded in 1981 as the first Mandarin immersion school in the United States, the Chinese American International School (CAIS) educates 571 students age two through 8th grade. Over the last four decades, CAIS has been recognized globally as a leader in bilingual education and an innovator for its commitment to immersive, cultural education through the study of language. CAIS is “a safe place to tinker and try,” with deep support for educators who lead with curiosity and vision and a culture that values creativity, risk‑taking, and collaboration. Within the middle school, students in grades 6-8 study an intellectually challenging, competency‑based curriculum that includes math, science, design technology, English language arts, social studies, Chinese language arts and social studies, music, studio art, and physical education.
With the upcoming retirement of the current middle school director, who has been at CAIS since 2014, the school now looks forward to welcoming its next middle school director to lead an outstanding academic program and foster community connection across the school's new, unified campus.
The director will oversee the ongoing implementation of competency‑based learning in the middle school program, and promote Mandarin immersion excellence that distinguishes CAIS among its peers in an increasingly competitive market. This is an exciting opportunity for a mission‑driven academic leader to join a visionary community and help define what it means to be a CAIS graduate in a global, multilingual world. The next middle school director will also join CAIS two years after the school relocated to a single, spectacular, unified campus, following a period of operations on three separate campuses. Reporting to the head of school, the middle school director will directly supervise middle school faculty and learning specialists, and the athletic director. CAIS looks forward to welcoming the incoming director to begin July 1, 2026.

ABOUT THE U.S. DEMOCRACY PROGRAM
The U.S. Democracy Program at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation is committed to strengthening America's democratic institutions and building public trust in a durable, inclusive democracy. Through nonpartisan grantmaking, the program supports efforts to advance a political system that is responsive, representative, and resilient. In 2024, the program awarded 123 grants totaling more than $48 million to organizations working to improve governance and safeguard free and fair elections.
The program's grantmaking is currently guided by the following core strategies:
National Governing Institutions: This strategy strengthens the capacity, legitimacy, and adaptability of the federal government's legislative and executive branches. It supports efforts to modernize Congress and the executive branch not only to make them more effective but also to reintroduce constructive conflict, deliberation, and accountability as defining features of self‑government. NGI invests in organizations that defend the professional civil service, advance evidence‑based policymaking, and build bridges between policymakers and the public. By aligning performance reforms with cultural and institutional renewal, the strategy aims to rebuild public trust, foster cross‑partisan collaboration, and ensure that the government is both capable of solving problems and seen as legitimate in doing so.
Trustworthy Elections: The Trustworthy Elections strategy aims to ensure that U.S. elections are secure, accessible, and worthy of public confidence. Grants support efforts that strengthen the conditions of free and fair elections, mitigate political extremism and violence, and ensure voters can trust and safely participate in electoral politics. The strategy also promotes public understanding and acceptance of election outcomes across the ideological spectrum, reinforcing the legitimacy of democratic institutions and processes. By supporting the conditions and institutions that are integral to the American electoral system, this strategy helps foster civic trust within a deeply polarized electorate and safeguard the principal democratic conduit between citizen and state.
Political Culture: Across the two strategies, and within the grantmaking portfolio held by the program director, the program has also recognized the central importance of rediscovering a shared political culture across the ideological spectrum. Work in this area began by funding organizations that enlisted trusted messengers from to encourage civic virtues and democratic norms within their own communities. The Foundation is currently exploring a project to develop approaches that invite more Americans, including those disillusioned with today's highly divisive political environment, to work together toward solutions that will collectively benefit everyone. There is significant opportunity for leadership in this effort within the Foundation.
POSITION SUMMARY
Reporting to President Amber Miller, the Program Director for U.S. Democracy will lead one of Hewlett's vital program areas at a time of profound challenge and opportunity for American democratic institutions. The Program Director will collaborate with a visionary president, a committed senior leadership team and a deeply experienced group of programmatic staff to strengthen the underpinnings of American self‑governance. This leader will bring strategic vision, deep expertise in democratic governance and a passion for nonpartisan institutional renewal. They also will lead the team in a program review that will examine the efficacy of the Foundation's current strategies in light of the rapidly changing external environment and make updates that best meet the moment.
Serving an eight‑year term, the Program Director will oversee all program‑related activities and grantmaking, while working with program officers to shape and implement strategies that reflect Hewlett's commitment to institutional integrity, civic trust and democratic resilience. This individual will be a collaborative force across the Foundation, working with other program directors and colleagues across the organization to amplify impact and foster cross‑cutting solutions and working with administrative teams to effectively operationalize the strategy. With a creative and forward‑looking perspective, the Program Director will work collaboratively with the program team, while bringing their own insights and leadership to evolve the program in a strategic direction.
