St. Andrew’s Episcopal School seeks to hire an innovative, nurturing, and knowledgeable Upper School Spanish teacher (grades 9-12) starting in August 2025.
At St. Andrew's, we believe in the importance of multi-contextual relationships as foundations for learning. In addition to teaching duties, faculty members are broadly involved with school life as coaches, club and extracurricular program affiliates, or an equivalent contribution to the School. Each faculty member also serves as an advisor to several students.
Preferred candidates will be enthusiastic and passionate about teaching ninth through twelfth graders in a vigorous learning environment using student-centered pedagogy. Our instructional model emphasizes oral communication and is part of a well-articulated Spanish sequence from Kindergarten to 12th grade. We seek a colleague capable of extending that curriculum in ways that engage students in relevant, age-appropriate communicative tasks and that advance learners to the highest possible levels of Spanish proficiency. Candidates are expected to have favorable attitudes or prior knowledge of social-emotional learning, technology integration, curriculum development, differentiation, effective parent communication, and reflective practice. Excellent interpersonal, organizational, and collaborative skills are also essential. A bachelor’s degree or higher is required (preferably in Spanish or a related field), as well as classroom teaching experience. The salary will be based on experience and qualifications.
