Summary of Position:

Milton Academy is seeking a computer science teacher starting in August 2026. The computer science department at Milton Academy is vibrant, creative, and diverse. We are seeking a teacher who can bring energy to the program and help us continue to grow. The teacher will be responsible for teaching programming classes and working with students beyond the classroom, including supporting robotics, hackathons, and more. A strong candidate will have a passion for teaching, a high aptitude and interest in technology (hardware and software), a coding background (Java, Python, and/or C++), and the capability to teach programming to students in grades 9-12. Experience in mobile app development, robotics, artificial intelligence, and/or engineering is desirable. The ideal candidate will have the versatility to contribute across departments, with the ability to teach in areas such as math or science.

Milton offers four project-based programming courses (introductory computer programming, advanced programming, mobile app development, and artificial intelligence) and an applied engineering course. Each of the courses is project-based, which allows us to tailor the material to student interest while promoting independent learning and collaboration between students. Introductory programming units are also taught in every geometry class.

In the past 12 years, the number of computer science sections at Milton Academy has grown from four sections to 19. Forty-six percent of students in our current classes identify as female.

Students engage outside of the classroom in a programming club, at regional hackathons, on the robotics team, and by facilitating a Girls Who Code club at a local middle school. In addition to acquiring technical skills, our graduates celebrate their development as innovative problem solvers, effective teammates, and self-directed learners.

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.

Base Salary: For the 2026–27 academic year, faculty salaries range from $50,000 to $120,000 annually. Placement within this range is determined by years of experience, in alignment with Milton Academy’s faculty salary scale, which is designed to ensure equitable pay progression.

Housing Stipend: Faculty members who reside off-campus will also receive an annual stipend of $13,000 (in 2026-27) in addition to the base salary listed above.

In our ongoing work to create an environment that confronts bias, injustice, and bigotry, we encourage each other to be open to learning, explore our histories and identities, and seek to understand the world around us with a critical lens. At Milton, we prepare students to partner with their future communities to create a more just world and to have the courage to speak up and live by our motto, “Dare to be true.”
