Our first grade teacher will be taking children through the threshold of early childhood into the realm of lower school and the fascinating world of academics. The first grade teacher bridges this significant developmental gap with the magic and hands on learning that a Waldorf Education provides - with the ultimate goal of creating a life-long love of learning in children. The Waldorf model prefers that a teacher go through the grades with their class and at The Waldorf School of Atlanta, we hope to have this benefit for the class for at least a few years.

Teachers participate in pre and post planning. Provide three parent nights a year. Hold parent/teacher conferences twice a year, and as needed for special circumstances and, occasionally, there are after hour and weekend requirements.

A Bachelor’s degree is required. Additionally, Waldorf teacher training and classroom experience are preferred. We are seeking individuals who are committed to excellence in teaching, healthy parent/teacher relationships, self development, and collegial collaboration.
