We are looking for teachers who love their subject, who believe that children can do difficult things, and who want to work among colleagues who believe the same. Our classes are small, ten to sixteen students, so you will know every child you teach. You will be trusted to teach whole books and real problems, and to follow a good question where it leads. You will be expected to go on studying, and you will find that your colleagues ask what you are learning as readily as what you are teaching.

If you have ever been told, or have told yourself, ‘You must teach,’ we would like to hear from you.

We're small enough that every teacher shapes the culture, and we hire people who want that kind of responsibility.

We look for teachers with at least three years of experience working with children, and an advanced degree in education or their subject. Beyond that, we care most about how you communicate, how you support a wide range of learners, and how you work alongside colleagues. Prior independent school experience is a plus, not a requirement.

Our hiring process includes a conversation with one of our deans, an interview, a campus tour, and a demo lesson with our students. We check references with every school or program where you've worked with children, as California law requires.

We don't wait for an opening to start talking. If you're interested in teaching at The Academy School, fill out the form below.
