Required Education:
Pingree School is a dynamic and aspirational, independent, all-gender day school on the North Shore of Boston, located on a beautiful 100-acre campus in South Hamilton, where approximately 385 students in grades 9 through 12 solve problems, build community, and learn how to learn. Pingree School empowers every community member to pursue knowledge with courage and imagination, thrive in joy and challenge, and create a more just and equitable world. Committed to developing global citizens, Pingree actively seeks faculty, staff and students of character and intelligence from varied social, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds.
Pingree School seeks an experienced physics and engineering teacher to serve as a member of the science department beginning with the 2026-2027 academic year.
Primary responsibilities include:
- Teaching four sections of science to include standard level physics, APEX (advanced) Engineering, and single trimester engineering electives.
- The ideal candidate will have engineering experience either as a teacher or professional engineer and be excited to design APEX Engineering curriculum that challenges and engages students at the most advanced level of the program.
- Participating in science department meetings and contributing to departmental projects and initiatives, while demonstrating a strong willingness to collaborate with colleagues and engage in curriculum development.
- Coaching and and/or supervising two seasons in our cocurricular program. While not a requirement of the role, experience with robotics will be an advantage.
- Serving as an advisor and participating in the life of the school community.
We seek educators who will build upon Pingree’s forward looking curriculum design, emphasis on the practical application of the sciences, and commitment to making connections to civic engagement and social justice. The successful candidate will have knowledge of and passion for science and a strong foundational background in physics and engineering coupled with an appreciation for problem-based, student centered pedagogy that emphasizes the development of young people to be global stewards and scientific thinkers. In a small department such as Pingree’s, the successful candidate will have a wide range of teaching abilities, experiences and enthusiasm for current trends in the field and a strong willingness to collaborate with other members of the department and engage in curriculum development. They will be committed to and enjoy working with adolescents in all areas of school life, be open to exploring collaborative, experiential and interdisciplinary teaching opportunities, possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, and demonstrate a commitment to equity and inclusion. We seek candidates who will extend student learning to our maker space and who will be forward thinking about connecting science to other disciplines. The successful candidate should have experience at the secondary level or equivalent in a related area or field. A bachelor degree is required and a master’s degree and some teaching experience is preferred.
The salary range for this position is $65,000 - $110,000 annually. An individual’s placement within this range is based on work experience, education credentials, and cocurricular responsibilities.
