We are seeking a dynamic and engaging Spanish teacher for the 2026–2027 school year. Our program includes FLES instruction in Senior Kindergarten and Grade 3, as well as communicative, acquisition-focused instruction in Grades 5–8.
The ideal candidate will create a learning environment where students develop Spanish competency through meaningful, interactive, and highly comprehensible experiences at every level.
This role requires a teacher who fosters language growth through student-centered, hands-on instruction that supports communication and confidence.
The successful candidate will design developmentally appropriate lessons that immerse students in rich, accessible Spanish, incorporating grammar and vocabulary in context while also providing clear, concise explanations as needed to support accuracy and understanding.
