Position Overview:

The Director oversees all aspects of the Program as outlined above and in the Essential Functions and Responsibilities and Competencies section below.

The ideal candidate will be a certified AMGA Single Pitch Instructor (or higher) and/or hold an ACA paddling certification and hold a WFA or WFR certification. The candidate will have previous experience leading wilderness trips, ideally with youth groups, have a wide range of outdoor skills, enjoy working with teenagers, and have a good sense of humor. We seek individuals who are flexible and are enthusiastic about working in a complex, academically rigorous boarding school.

We recognize that many applicants may not have the entire outdoor skill set outlined above or the combination of academic teaching and outdoor education experience. We seek either an individual who is well rounded in the outdoors OR an individual who has a high level of expertise in one area (climbing or paddling, for example) and the knowledge base to partner with adjuncts or contract guides for areas in which the individual has less expertise. Above all we seek a person who is passionate about the outdoors and about sharing that passion with students.

About Milton Academy

Milton Academy is an independent college preparatory K–12 school, boarding and day in grades 9–12, located just outside Boston. Milton Academy cultivates in our students a passion for learning and a respect for others. Milton students grow by developing their own identities, learning from and listening to the lived experiences of others, and living and working among peers whose differences they accept with respect and care. In our ongoing work to create an environment that confronts bias, injustice, and bigotry, we encourage each other to be open to learning, explore our histories and identities, and seek to understand the world around us with a critical lens. At Milton, we prepare students to partner with their future communities to create a more just world and to have the courage to speak up and live by our motto, “Dare to be true.”
