Indiana Academy is seeking a dedicated and visionary Men’s Head Dean for the 2026–2027 school year. Located in beautiful Cicero, Indiana, our campus sits on a 400-acre farm featuring rolling farmland, wooded acreage, a private pond, and a long border along Cicero Creek that is ideal for canoeing and fishing—providing an exceptional environment for learning, mentorship, and community life.

Indiana Academy serves a richly diverse student body representing 23 countries. We are deeply committed to service and global engagement, partnering annually with the Cicero SDA Church for mission trips, with recent destinations including El Salvador, Puerto Rico, and Sri Lanka.
