At The Wyndcroft School, learning is rooted in curiosity, relationships, and a deep belief in the potential of every child. As an Early Childhood – 8th independent school guided by our mission of Non Sibi (“not for oneself”), we are committed to academic excellence and to preparing students for success in high school and beyond. Our School challenges students to think critically, communicate clearly, and engage meaningfully with the world around them.

We are seeking an Upper School Latin Teacher (grades 5-8) who is inspired by and committed to the learning of the Latin language. This is an opportunity to join a kind, collaborative faculty committed to creating meaningful learning experiences that challenge, engage, and support our students.

Wyndcroft teachers design classroom experiences where students are curious, engaged, and reflective. Our Latin teacher will introduce our fifth grade students to this ancient language and nurture their understanding and appreciation of how modern languages stemmed from Latin. Roman culture and history will be an area of focus and an opportunity to build students’ appreciation of this civilization’s ways to problem solve and meet challenges.  Wyndcroft teachers build strong relationships with students and their families by partnering with parents and caregivers to help our young adolescents grow with confidence, curiosity, and a sense of belonging.

Our ideal candidate is a reflective and student-centered educator who values collaboration, communicates clearly, and brings energy to both the classroom and the broader life of the school. They are eager to contribute to a community that is both grounded in tradition and committed to thoughtful growth.

If you are excited about teaching Latin in a school where relationships matter and learning is active and purposeful, we encourage you to explore the full position description linked here.
