Position Overview. Christchurch School seeks a full-time Math Teacher for 2026-2027 school year. This is an opportunity for an educator to join a department engaged in implementing a constructivist quantitative reasoning curriculum within the broader context of a school that prioritizes relationships, agency, competencies, and the use of place (local, national, and international) to help guide students towards becoming compassionate, engaged, and successful global citizens.
