Located in Bryn Mawr, PA (metropolitan Philadelphia), Barrack is the premier Jewish day school in the Delaware Valley, attracting students from Philadelphia and its suburbs, Allentown, southern New Jersey, and Wilmington, Delaware.
The school integrates a comprehensive, rigorous college-preparatory curriculum with the teaching of essential Jewish and American values and texts. Guided by our four Derech Eretz values of Honor, Moral Courage, Kindness, and Community, Barrack values diversity, celebrates the richness of Judaism's language, culture, and history, and is strongly connected to Israel.
Barrack prepares future leaders of the American, Jewish, and global communities who work for a better world through acts of justice and compassion.

The successful candidate is capable of teaching an integrated middle school social studies and language arts course.
