Summer Position
Join the Harvard-Westlake School Summer Teaching Program for 2023! There are various openings in all academic subjects and art disciplines.
Harvard-Westlake Summer is an enrichment program that offers participants the chance to experience everything that makes Harvard-Westlake special. Programs highlight academic enrichment, visual and performing arts, debate, film, and athletics. While opportunities exist for students in grades 3 to 12, most participants are in grades 5 to 10. Classes have extended block periods each day so that students can engage with the topics fully during class. Each year, Harvard-Westlake Summer hires teachers from all across Los Angeles who are passionate about working with kids in an enrichment setting.
What we’re looking for:
- Experience teaching students late elementary school, middle school, and/or early high school
- Eager to work with students in an enrichment setting
- Ability to excite and motivate students in an enrichment setting that does not include grades or other extrinsic forms of motivation
- Experience with project-based learning
- Ability to design classes and programs for long block periods each day
- Commitment to working with sensitivity, humor, and care
We are committed to creating a community of belonging and actively strive to be a diverse and inclusive community. We do not discriminate on any basis. We seek candidates who demonstrate sensitivity, knowledge, and understanding of the diverse backgrounds of community members; have an ability to work flexibly, independently, and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment with individuals from a diverse set of backgrounds; and have a capacity to serve as a model of openness, generosity, and acceptance.
Summer Schedule and to Apply:
Our Summer Program begins on June 12, 2023 and ends on July 28, 2023. Most available classes are three weeks in length, although you may not work the entire duration of the program. To be considered, please submit your application and resume. We will begin reviewing applications in January 2023, and typically have most classes filled by mid-April.
