ScholarchA '''scholarch''' () is the head of a school. The term was especially used for the heads of schools of philosophy in ancient Athens, such as the Platonic Academy, whose first scholarch was Plato himself. He held the position for forty years, appointing his nephew Speussipus as his successor; later scholarchs were elected by members of the Academy.
A list of scholarchs of the four main philosophy schools in Athens during the Hellenistic period, with the approximate dates they headed the schools, is as follows:[Keimpe Algra, Jonathan Barnes, Jaap Mansfeld, Malcolm Schofield, ''The Cambridge History of Hellenistic Philosophy'', page 53.
