Career Center

Greenwich Academy seeks an experienced and dynamic history teacher for our Upper School. Comfort teaching world history and U.S. history is preferred, as well as experience teaching AP courses and/or developing elective courses. GA history classes feature student centered and inquiry based practices and aim to foster curiosity and enthusiasm for the subject. Our teachers encourage students to create links between historical events and contemporary circumstances. In addition to developing core historical thinking skills, our teachers help their students to develop a solid understanding of the material through strong content knowledge. The History and Social Sciences Department at Greenwich Academy seeks to engender a love of learning and an understanding of the richness of cultural, religious, ethnic and racial diversity.

Successful candidates will be flexible, open-minded and eager to join a collaborative department. They will be excited to work in a rigorous academic environment and to immerse themselves in the school community. We expect all teachers to embrace a commitment to a variety of teaching strategies, to be enthusiastic learners themselves, and to be dedicated to sustaining a culture of anti-racism and anti-bias in our community.
