Performing Arts Faculty

(full-time, exempt, possible housing on campus)

At Tilton School, we are a community in pursuit of knowing, supporting, and challenging each other as we learn to do hard things well. Our faculty design learning experiences that build the essential skills and sensibilities our students will need to be life-ready, at college and beyond. As such, we seek a compelling and passionate educator to teach four-to-five sections of Performing Arts at various levels and possibly other humanities-related courses in our curriculum. Flexibility and experience to teach across two or more domains in the humanities is preferred, but not a requirement for consideration.

As a residential school, Tilton considers the work of faculty broadly, and we engage with students both during and beyond the academic day.
