Candidates must have a bachelor's degree in Mathematics, or a closely related field combined with experience teaching mathematics in an Upper School.  We are looking for a mathematics teacher who is passionate about teaching mathematics to adolescents with a student-centered approach.

Each faculty member also plays a key role in supporting student growth and development by serving as an advisor to a group of students. Each advisor has the opportunity to be an advocate for the student as well as having a holistic view of the student’s progression through our school.
