St. Luke’s School, a secular, college-preparatory day school serving grades 5 through 12, seeks an exceptional educator to join its Upper School Math Department. A successful candidate will join a Mathematics Department known for the extraordinary commitment of its teachers. Whether the content is Algebra I or Multivariable Calculus, our Math teachers put students first.  The Department welcomes a range of instructional methods, including direct instruction, group work, inquiry-based, and flipped classrooms.
