Lower School English/Homeroom Position

Do you sometimes get carried away by your enthusiasm when recommending books to friends? Do you have a special knack for connecting with young people and a mission to inspire the next generation with critical-thinking skills? Do you see technology as a way to open windows to the world, giving us new lenses through which to see ourselves?  Do you have a passion for writing and supporting students in developing their writing? Does your respect for the written word make you something of a stickler for grammar?  

 

If so, we’d love to have you join the English faculty at National Cathedral School.  The school announces the search for a Lower School (4th grade) English teacher to begin August 2024. 

NCS is committed to leadership in multicultural education and a culturally diverse faculty and staff. The school therefore seeks applications from candidates who will contribute to an atmosphere in which all are valued and supported.   

 

Teachers are expected to be on campus from 7:45a.m. until approximately 4:00p.m. Other responsibilities include managing a homeroom class of 14-16 students, attending regular grade-level team discussions and faculty meetings, and other duties as assigned. Qualified candidates hold a bachelor's degree and have relevant teaching experience. Candidates must also seek collaborative professional experiences, interact well with parents, and have experience working with elementary students. Salaries are competitive and based on experience, with a full benefits package including support for professional development.  

 

Faculty are involved in the life of the school through a variety of means such as leading a club, coaching a sport, or serving on a committee. Additionally, community members attend school functions, including chapel and cathedral services, assemblies, and special events.  

  

Interested candidates should send an electronic application that includes a brief cover letter, résumé and the names and contact information of three to five references. In addition, applicants should submit a sample lesson that the candidate has used with students.
