Upper School Chemistry Teacher

St. Mark’s School of Texas seeks an experienced and dynamic chemistry teacher to teach four sections of upper school chemistry starting in the 2021-2022 school year.  St. Mark’s students are eager and motivated learners, and the science courses are based upon frequent laboratory experiences, so a strong candidate will be able to design and conduct laboratory activities, teach with an engaging classroom style, and appeal to the learning styles of a diverse and extremely talented group of boys.  He or she should also have a desire to participate enthusiastically in the various activities that occur outside of the classroom in an independent school community.  Finally, St. Mark’s is committed to character and leadership education, and candidates must be equally interested in developing these capacities in boys as they are committed to teaching content. 

Responsibilities

• Teaching four sections of chemistry in the upper school
• Serving as an Advisor to a small group of boys
• Contributing to the broader community by participating in the wilderness program, club program, or athletic program, depending on experience
• Participating in the character and leadership education program
