Established in 1929, The Orme School is a unique, college-preparatory, coeducational boarding school for grades 8 through 12, set on 300 acres in rural Arizona. Orme's locale is remote and rustic, but easily accessible to Phoenix, Flagstaff, Prescott and Sedona. Our whole child approach includes the academic program, as well as residential and community life. The guiding principles of Excellence, Tradition, and Character are applied to every facet of an Orme education. Almost all our employees reside at Orme, making for a diverse and tight-knit community.
The Orme School seeks an experienced, collaborative, and energetic science/math teacher to join our faculty for the upcoming 2022-23 academic year. Qualified candidates will have at a minimum a bachelor's degree (master's preferred) and at least 1 - 3 years of classroom experience. The position requires the ability to teach physics, as well as 1 -2 classes in a math discipline. Successful candidates will have an exceptional ability to develop and maintain positive and healthy relationships with a diverse range of adolescents. Experience with boarding schools, and in coaching, the arts, outdoor education or other specialized interests are highly desirable.
Candidates should be prepared to work with our students well beyond the classroom, as faculty members serve as advisors, residential duty-team members, coaches, and mentors. Orme educators are asked to teach, participate in after-school activity programs and be a part of a residential program. Housing is provided, as well as all meals while school is in session.
The opportunity to incorporate and share individual interests with the community exists in multiple areas. Professional development is offered and encouraged. If you are a multi-faceted educator with a desire for adventure, community involvement and a taste of the Wild West, we welcome your application.
