Elementary School Teacher

A. Fantis School is a PreK–8 school serving approximately 225 students in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, operating under Saints Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral for over 60 years.

In 2024, we were one of 40 private schools named a National Blue Ribbon School, recognizing sustained academic excellence and strong outcomes for all learners.

We are a small, mission-driven community where teachers know every child by name, student-teacher ratios are intentionally kept low, and faculty are trusted as professionals.

Our teachers are supported by faculty and admin in collaborative teams with a full-time school counselor and Director of Student Support to help every student succeed.

We are seeking a passionate, intelligent, and creative Elementary Teacher with exceptional skills in elementary school pedagogy and an understanding of the field's content knowledge.

The candidate should be eager to grow professionally and participate in a collaborative atmosphere focused on continual improvement.

Please note that our faculty and student body are diverse, and being Greek Orthodox is NOT a requirement for this position.

• Developing a positive, joyful and structured classroom environment that engages and motivates students to achieve their fullest potential
• Fostering relationships with students, families and faculty
• Assuming responsibility for the academic progress of students with a high sense of urgency and ownership towards quantifiable results
• Developing creative lessons that correlate with our curriculum, goals, and objectives
• Collaborating with colleagues in various capacities, including planning, evaluating student growth, and professional development
