Our two beautiful campuses on 55 acres serve as vibrant hubs for curiosity, creativity, and academic excellence. This is perfectly complemented by our location in Charlottesville, one of the top 5 happiest cities in the U.S., as recognized by National Geographic and Outside Magazine. Opportunities abound to connect with nature, enjoy arts and culture, engage with the University of Virginia, only one mile away, and explore American history both within our region or Richmond (one hour by car) and Washington, D.C. (two hours by car).

About the position

St. Anne’s-Belfield School seeks a full-time Spanish teacher and advisor. This role relies on someone who collaborates effectively with members of the Upper School World Language Department and the Upper School Faculty as a whole. A successful teacher in this position has the capacity to foster in students a love for the Spanish language and culture in a student-centered classroom that prioritizes communication over rote memorization of concepts and vocabulary. 

Full-time classroom teaching experience, strong organizational and classroom management skills, and the ability to joyfully teach upper school children are required. Ideal candidates will have experience teaching high school-aged students, be trained in comprehensible input pedagogy, and hold a master's degree in Spanish, world language education, or a related field.

As an independent school, we value community involvement and expect that the selected candidate will serve as a coach, and/or engage in student-centered extracurricular programming beyond the classroom. The position will start on August 1, 2025, but hiring for the role is happening now.

Interested candidates should apply for this position on the St. Anne’s-Belfield’s Career Opportunities website.
