Whether they joined us in JPK or just this year, these fourth graders have left a forever mark on our Lower School. They’re readers, writers, mathematicians, athletes, artists — certainly they’re musicians – and they’re ready for our Upper School!

Announcing Mike Schloat as Rippowam Cisqua School’s Next Head of School

Mr. Schloat’s tenure will begin with the 2026-27 school year.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the Head of School Search Committee, we are excited to announce that the Board has voted unanimously to appoint Michael Schloat as our next Head of School. Mike, who currently serves as Head of School of The Bement School in Deerfield, Massachusetts, will succeed Colm MacMahon in July 2026.

In accepting the role, Mike shared his excitement for the School’s future: “More than ever, young people and their families need schools like RCS — places where kindness, joy, and curiosity do not take a backseat to achievement, and where the commitment to community is authentic and core to the experience for all. I am inspired and humbled by the opportunity to lead such a school, and my family and I are thrilled to be joining the RCS and Bedford communities at such an exciting moment in the school’s history.”

Mr. Schloat began his teaching career at RCS almost 25 years ago as a fourth grade associate teacher, and we are thrilled to welcome Mike back home and look forward to the exciting chapter ahead under his leadership.
