Founded by George Washington Copp Noble in 1866, Noble and Greenough School is a co-educational, non-sectarian, rigorous academic community dedicated to motivating and inspiring students to achieve their highest potential and to lead lives characterized by service to others. Nobles is committed to creating a learning environment that represents diversity of race, gender identities, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, national origin, background, experience, and perspective. Doing so is intrinsic to our mission and improves the educational experience for all.
Nobles seeks an experienced teacher of History and Social Sciences for a one-year position to begin in late August 2022. The successful candidate will have a strong academic background, exemplary pedagogy and teaching skills, and experience teaching in a rigorous academic setting. In particular, we are seeking candidates who can teach our History of the Human Community (grade 9) and US History (grade 10) courses. Enthusiasm for working in an independent school setting and desire to embrace the school mission and values. A Bachelor’s degree is required; an advanced degree with an appropriate focus is preferred.
This is an opportunity to be part of a dynamic department whose members are passionate about ideas, teaching, and developing positive student-teacher relationships and engaged, ethical citizens and leaders. Successful candidates will be invited to contribute to the life of the school in non-academic areas (athletics, community service, admissions, or performing arts), but doing so is not a requirement for this one-year position.
Noble and Greenough School is committed to providing a fully on-campus, safe, educational experience for our students and the community. Consistent with those goals, Noble and Greenough has a COVID-19 vaccination policy. Students, faculty, and staff are required to be vaccinated for COVID-19 unless there is an approved exemption for a medical reason or if the vaccine conflicts with sincerely held religious beliefs, practices, or observances, which must be documented to the School and approved. If hired, you will be required to submit a copy of a COVID-19 vaccination card.
People of color, people with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ community, religious minorities, and members of other historically underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. To apply, please complete the online application and upload a resume with cover letter addressed to: Michael Denning, Head of Upper School.
