About the school

Since 1910, St. Anne’s-Belfield School has been committed to nurturing the whole student: body, heart, mind, and soul. As the largest independent school in the college town of Charlottesville, Va., our 900+ students, age 2 through Grade 12, inspire us each day as we aspire to educate the next generation of exemplary citizens and visionary leaders. 

As a member of our school community, you'd be joining a team of people who are passionate about their roles and contributing to a community of purpose and belonging. Those who thrive at St. Anne’s-Belfield are people who, as outlined in our Portrait of a Graduate, pursue knowledge to generate impact, seek to engage diverse perspectives and practices, engage in reflection, demonstrate moral character and integrity, and work to understand and meet the needs of the community. 

Our two beautiful campuses on 55 acres serve as vibrant hubs for curiosity, creativity, and academic excellence. This is perfectly complemented by our location in Charlottesville, one of the top 5 happiest cities in the U.S., as recognized by National Geographic and Outside Magazine. Opportunities abound to connect with nature, enjoy arts and culture, engage with the University of Virginia, only one mile away, and explore American history both within our region or Richmond (one hour by car) and Washington, D.C. (two hours by car).

St. Anne's-Belfield School seeks a part-time, afternoon teacher for our youngest learners in the Twos Program for the 2025-2026 school year.  Informed by a developmental approach to understanding the needs of children, our program emphasizes the experiential growth of the heart, body, and mind through imaginative play, meaningful work, and expressive arts in a natural (outdoor) environment. This first school experience for our two-year-old students prioritizes sensory exploration, helps to build self-care skills, and supports foundational physical, socio-emotional, and cognitive development. Recognizing that young children learn in relationship with others, the ideal teaching candidate will bring a nurturing presence, ethic of care, and an understanding of and experience with the needs of young children. The outdoor "classroom" which we occupy in all seasons for the majority of the day provides many opportunities for discovery, creativity, and environmental stewardship. 

This is a 10 month, 25 hour per week position with paid time off during all school holidays.  Working hours are 12:15 to 5:45 each school day.  In this job you will work with children of various ages during the first two hours of your day, then transition to leading the Twos Program at 2:30 each afternoon.

A college degree and a minimum of two years experience teaching young children are required. Please include a cover letter and resume with your application.  Apply now to be a part of our community!
