Brendon Jobs was appointed as Upper School Director at AFS in July 2021. He brings extensive professional experience facilitating organizational and adult learning to his practice. He is a practiced school leader, classroom teacher and racial literacy consultant with 14 years in public and private school environments including The Haverford School, The Browning School, The Baldwin School, Penn Charter School, Central High School (PA), St. Peter’s School, The Waldorf School of Philadelphia, Wilmington Friends School, Penn School of Design and more. Recently, he has been recognized as a “Top Teacher” by Main Line Today Magazine.  

Brendon is a connector, building programs and relationships across school communities and drawing from a rich network that he has developed across the region with researchers, school leaders and teachers. Central to his vision is the power of relationships and collaboration, with students, colleagues and families, to together build school communities of academic depth and meaning, social emotional strength and wellbeing, a shared ethic of systemic equity and transformational opportunities available to all. As a school leader, his interests range from the craft of classroom teaching to strategic visioning for schools in the 21st century. 

Brendon succeeded Dom Gerard who Rich Nourie described as “a thoughtful, caring and generative leader of the Upper School for the past five years.” We welcome Brendon and his many gifts and appreciate Dom’s work and spirit greatly, holding him in the light as he moves on to his next chapter. Read More about Brendon and AFS in the Philadelphia Business Journal.
