About Grace Church School
Grace Church School is a JK–12, independent school located on two nearby campuses in downtown New York City. An Episcopal school, welcoming children of all faiths and of none, Grace believes in the inherent, precious dignity of every individual and seeks to provide an outstanding education worthy of our common humanity.
Grace is a school of big ideas, and our structured curriculum promotes academic excellence through a pedagogy of joy: an approach that reflects our belief that joy is the fuel of academic achievement, and that students learn best when motivated by delight, wonder, curiosity, and purpose. We work hard to nurture a culture of dignity and belonging, and we seek to foster in each student skills of intellectual excellence and habits of ethical virtue. Grounded in tradition, the school remains ever open to innovation, looking to the best research on the science of learning and the craft of teaching to advance the timeless values and aspirations of our mission.
About the position
Grace Church School seeks a confident and creative geometry teacher who loves teaching middle school students to teach an enrichment class to advanced mathematics students. The ideal candidate values conceptual understanding of geometric ideas—such as reasoning, proof, spatial relationships, and connections between algebra and geometry—alongside procedural fluency. The teacher should bring tools and strategies for differentiating instruction within heterogeneous groups, and will collaborate closely with colleagues to implement and refine curriculum. We are looking for an educator who is committed to social justice, diversity, equity, and anti-bias education, communicates effectively with students, families, and colleagues, and approaches teaching with curiosity and a commitment to ongoing learning.
