Upper School Spanish Teacher

The New School is seeking a dynamic, student-centered Spanish teacher to work with Upper School students for the 2021-2022 school year. Spanish instruction aims to assist students with language acquisition as well as an introduction to culture.

The Spanish Teacher will be part of a team of specialists who support students across multiple grade levels. The teacher will have access to generous resources including material and supplies, state-of-the-art technology, and regular professional development experiences.
