Interested in the Hiring Process for next year?
We posted the following positions for next year to our website, Idealist, and other job boards:
- Classroom Co-Teacher
- Special Education Co-Teacher
- Elementary Visual Arts Teacher
- We also posted a parental leave position to cover for Anna and are prioritizing hiring for this position.
Our first interviews are on TUESDAY, 1/19 and we invite you to be a part of the interview process. We are trying to streamline our interview times to Tuesdays after school and during recess and lunch time. We're hoping this helps to make the interview times more accessible to all of you. If you would like to sit in on any of the upcoming phone interviews, please use the link below to sign up (just type your name in the box next to staff person 1 or 2). If the interview is during your recess/snack time, we will work on getting coverage so your class can still go outside.

Also, please share our employment page with your networks and let us know if you have ideas for other places we could post our positions for next year.
