Located at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, Waterford School, with an enrollment of 1,100, is Utah’s premier liberal arts, college-preparatory independent school for students in Preschool through High School. Student learning is Waterford School’s reason for being. Since its founding, the School has instilled habits of independent thought, critical thinking, responsibility, passionate learning, and service to others. Waterford School’s liberal arts program provides a strong foundation, and the campus culture prepares students to pursue lives of meaning and purpose. Waterford delivers a world-class education distinguished by a rich curriculum, an outstanding faculty, a deep commitment to student growth, and a learning environment that is caring, nurturing, and inspiring.
Waterford School seeks a full-time Middle / Upper School science teacher. The school opened a state-of-the-art science facility in the fall of 2023 which supports world-class instruction and offers amazing resources to the science department. We are particularly interested in candidates who are thoroughly prepared to teach a range of subjects, and who are specifically experienced in teaching Middle School students. As the school has an integrated Middle School and Upper School, the candidate should embrace the opportunity to teach courses across all levels, as needed, from sixth to twelfth grade. The ideal candidate would hold an advanced degree in a field of science, and would have five or more years of teaching experience, ideally at the secondary school level.
Additional opportunities within the Science Department include the development of student research opportunities and guiding the development of a laboratory space designed for eventual BSL-2 certification. There are opportunities within the department to assist or take a leadership role in one of our several co-curricular offerings such as Science Olympiad, HOSA-Future Health Professionals, and FIRST robotics.
The successful candidate will be able to develop a healthy rapport with students from ages 11-18, and will embrace Waterford School’s mission, vision, and values in curriculum, teaching, and membership in the community.
The Waterford campus is set on 45 acres at the foot of Utah’s Wasatch Mountains, one of North America’s premier outdoor and recreational areas. The school offers an outstanding working environment.
