Urban Prairie Waldorf School on Chicago’s near west side seeks a native or heritage speaking Spanish teacher to join our faculty for the 2021-22 school year. Candidates should send a letter of interest, resume, and three references to jobs@urbanprairie.org. Starting salary is competitive and takes into consideration years of experience. Urban Prairie is an equal opportunity employer.

We are a dynamic and forward-thinking Waldorf school supported by an involved community with a highly inspired and energetic faculty and administration. Urban Prairie seeks teachers who are passionate, committed to facilitating an exemplary, innovative Waldorf education, and willing to work collaboratively both in and out of the classroom.

Our work environment is invigorating and transformative. Urban farming (including animals), permaculture-based landscaping, variable tuition, and predominantly outdoor Early Childhood programming highlight a few of our recent exciting initiatives. Our faculty, administration, and board have made a strong commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work from all angles including curriculum, approach, recruitment, and accessibility. We believe in investing in our employees and offer a competitive salary structure, medical benefits, short-term disability, long-term disability, 401K benefits, and annual professional development.

Our school serves Early Childhood through 8th grade and includes Chinese, handwork, music, orchestra, movement, woodwork, and other practical arts. In 2018-19 we moved into our new campus — a 50,000 square foot building that includes 23 classrooms, a gym, science lab, kitchen, and a large outdoor space. Urban Prairie is committed to stewarding our land with health and gratitude, and the master plan for our indoor and outdoor space is well underway, allowing our faculty and community to dream into our new home.
