The Buckley School’s math program stands out for its depth, pace, rigor, and excellent preparation for success in secondary school. The preferred candidate will have at least 3-5 years of math teaching experience, preferably in independent schools. Demonstrably in-depth knowledge of mathematical content and pedagogy is paramount, particularly for content and curriculum ranging from pre-algebra through high school geometry and Algebra 2. Buckley seeks a teacher who is as excited about and capable of meeting the challenges of a 5th-grade math class as they are for an 8th or 9th-grade advanced algebra or geometry class.

Excellent writing, academic technology, and communication skills are vital. The successful candidate will recognize the unique opportunities afforded by an all-boys educational context, in addition to having a demonstrated passion for this content, this age range, and for the art and science of teaching and learning. They will collaborate closely with colleagues within and across grade levels; collegiality and adaptability are essential qualities.

Faculty at Buckley also take part in the whole life of the school. Hosting student clubs, serving as advisors, and having family-style lunch with students are all hallmarks of the program and part of the faculty experience.

This position could also include serving as a homeroom teacher in the Upper School. The homeroom teacher position entails oversight of group time, daily recess, lunch coverage, study hall, and a class play. The homeroom role requires building proactive relationships with families, including conferences in the fall and as needed throughout the year.

To apply for this position, please send a cover letter and resume to jobs@buckleyschool.org. Please put "Math Teacher" in the subject line. No calls please.
