scholarch
Scholarch is a historical term used to designate the head or leader of a school, especially in ancient Greek philosophy. The word derives from the Greek skolē, meaning "school," and arkhē, meaning "ruler" or "leader." The scholarch presided over a school’s teaching, governance, and public representation, and often defined its intellectual direction.
In antiquity, the title is most closely associated with major philosophical schools such as the Platonic Academy
Notable scholarchs include figures who guided the Platonic Academy after Plato, such as Speusippus and Xenocrates,
Today the term is largely used in historical and scholarly discussions rather than as a contemporary title.
