Summary of Position:

Milton Academy is seeking applicants for a full-time Upper School Spanish teacher position within the Modern Languages Department, supporting students in grades 9 through 12. This position begins in August 2026.

The teacher will be responsible for teaching four classes and will play an active role in the broader life of the school community. Native or near-native fluency in Spanish is required, as well as a minimum of three years of experience teaching Spanish language and literature at the secondary or collegiate level.

Beyond the classroom, Milton faculty members are active contributors to the life of the school, including advising, participating in community and residential life activities, among other duties. Work authorization required; no sponsorship available.
