Elementary Teacher (K-1)
Our Mission: NCCL School provides a rich academic and cultural foundation that nurtures the joy of discovery in every child and fosters curious, creative, and critical thinkers.
NCCL School is a progressive, student-driven K–8 school seeking an innovative, collaborative K–1 educator to join our teaching team. We believe strong literacy skills are the gateway to student agency. Explicit phonics instruction, joyful reading experiences, and meaningful writing opportunities work together to help children become confident, independent learners. This role includes teaching early literacy instruction grounded in a strong phonics-based approach and supporting students in building foundational reading skills that allow them to access deeper inquiry, research, and creative expression. The teacher will also co-teach writing, social studies, and science within an integrated curriculum.
We are looking for an educator who values children’s social and emotional growth as deeply as their academic development. The ideal candidate sees teaching as both a craft and a meaningful role within a broader community. Strong communication skills, a deep understanding of child development, and a commitment to culturally responsive practice are essential.
At NCCL, teachers design engaging, inquiry-driven experiences that reflect the diversity of our students and encourage curiosity, collaboration, and real-world exploration.
Who You Are
- Energetic, patient, flexible, and collaborative
- Passionate about teaching in a progressive, experiential learning environment
- Experienced in early elementary literacy, including phonics-based reading instruction
- Skilled at anticipating and responding to varied developmental levels
- Excited to co-create curriculum and learn alongside colleagues
- Eager to participate in conversations around curriculum, DEI work, and school operations
- Someone whose outside interests and passions enrich a vibrant school community
Our Commitment to Diversity
In its hiring practices, NCCL School deliberately seeks to build a community that reflects a wide range of identities, experiences, and perspectives. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and strongly encourage candidates from historically underrepresented backgrounds, as well as those with non-traditional pathways into education, to apply. If this role excites you, we hope you will reach out, even if you don’t meet every listed qualification.
