The Dalton School, a progressive K-12 gender-inclusive school in Manhattan's Upper East Side, is consistently recognized as one of the preeminent independent day schools in the nation.
Known for its child-centered approach and an exceptional, inspiring faculty, Dalton enrolls over 1,300 students with approximately 350 faculty and staff.
Guided by the Dalton Plan, the foundation of a Dalton education, our faculty meets each student's evolving needs, interests, and abilities.
We are seeking a part-time teacher to join a dynamic group of teaching artists in the High School starting in September 2026.
This position is for 1 year only.
The most promising candidates will bring their own creative expertise to studio classrooms where they will engage students in exploring materials, developing technical skills, and building a sense of artistic competence and joy.
We are particularly interested in teaching artists who have backgrounds in new media, graphic design, and textile art, but we are open to a variety of artistic passions.
We welcome candidates who can support and challenge students to take artistic risks as they create, reflect, and develop their own practice.
