We also seek a teacher who values progressive education,  enjoys building a rapport with students and is passionate about working with adolescents. Visual Arts  Department teachers are both supportive of individual students and willing to challenge them to take meaningful risks. 

Successful candidates are able to teach creative students with a broad range of learning styles and who come from a variety of backgrounds. In addition, they are committed to professional growth and are interested in developing their cultural competency and equity literacy skills.  

Our ideal candidate is a gifted teacher who brings an innovative approach to curriculum design and is interested in exploring interdisciplinary teaching opportunities. They also have strong interpersonal skills and value collaboration among colleagues and with students in a vibrant, arts-infused community. Preference may be given to candidates who express interest in working within our residential community (housing provided).
