Middle School Teacher

Duke School (DS), an independent, project-based preschool through eighth grade school, offers an exceptional learning experience. In the middle school, students learn math, science, language arts, Spanish, and social studies in discrete classes, and in a dedicated project class carry out three projects which unite disciplines and place a premium on student inquiry and choice. Students also take classes in visual art, performing arts, physical education and learn media literacy from our media specialists; 5th and 6th graders take instrumental music. This engaging and rigorous environment challenges students to forge their own paths to learning. Each grade in the middle division features four subject-area teachers who both teach their discrete curriculum and collaborate to plan, deliver, and evaluate our project curriculum. 

We are seeking an exceptional Middle School teacher with a sound understanding of best practices in teaching and working with adolescents. The ideal candidate will have an education degree and at least three years of teaching experience. A deep understanding of middle school philosophy and a commitment to the academic and social/emotional growth of students is essential. Being able to work collaboratively on a team is critical for success in this position.
