The Jackson Hole Community School will be launching our new 6th-8th-grade Middle School division for the 2026-2027 school year, offering families in the Jackson community an education option that is grounded in our Middle School Purpose and Promise statement:

All middle school-aged children deserve a safe and inclusive school that helps them become competent and confident individuals who feel a sense of agency, are proud of who they are, are optimistic about their future, feel connected tothose around them, and are prepared to succeed in our ever-changing world.

A small, independent 6-12 school, JHCS “prepares students to succeed in college and life, through challenging academics and excellence in teaching, in a community founded on personal relationships, student initiative, and integrity” (JHCS Mission).

We are currently seeking an energetic, experienced, and team-oriented Middle School Math teacher for a full-time position that starts in August 2026. JHCS emphasizes the “community” aspect of its culture and seeks candidates who are interested in committing to its vibrancy and success. Faculty members are highly collaborative individuals who are eager to offer ideas, engage in discussion, and focus on generating and improving the learner experience. We expect that each employee will operate at a superior level and offer their services broadly to serve our students and the school community at large.

This Middle School Humanities position involves teaching four sections of an integrated English Language Arts (ELA)/Social Studies course, with approximately 14 students per grade-level section. The course fosters critical thinking, strong communication skills, and a deep understanding of human history and culture. By designing engaging, relevant lessons that link historical events and cultural perspectives to literature and writing, the ideal candidate will help students develop historical literacy (source analysis, interpretation) and critical literacy (analysis of text, argument, and bias). Candidates must be adept at using a variety of instructional techniques, including project-based learning, inquiry, and collaborative work, to create an inclusive, challenging, and supportive interdisciplinary environment for all learners. 

As a member of our English and History departments, our ideal candidate works collaboratively with colleagues and aims to instill habits of critical thinking and communication that students will draw upon during their middle and upper school years and beyond.

Other responsibilities of a full-time teacher include:

• Serving as a student advisor
• Communicating with colleagues, parents, and students in a timely and proactive manner
• Attending all faculty/staff meetings
• Attending occasional evening school events
• Taking part in school trips

• Offering student clubs or activities that cater to the interests and enjoyment of middle school students
• Understanding that other school-related tasks, committee memberships, or duties as requested by the Director may be assigned

• Bachelor’s degree in English and/or History or a related field; a Master’s degree is preferred
• Minimum 2 years of experience working with middle school students
• Ability to teach using a variety of pedagogical modalities
