Friends Seminary educates students from kindergarten through twelfth grade, adhering to the values of the Religious Society of Friends. We strive to build a diverse school where students exercise their curiosity and imagination as they develop as scholars, artists and athletes. In a community that cultivates the practices of keen observation, unhurried reflection, critical thinking, and coherent expression, we listen for the single voice as we seek unity. The disciplines of silence, study, and service provide the matrix for growth: silence opens us to change; study helps us to know the world; service challenges us to put our values into practice. At Friends Seminary, education is rooted in the Quaker belief in the Inner Light – that of God in every person. Guided by the testimonies of integrity, peace, equality, and simplicity, we prepare students to engage in the world that is and to help bring about a world that ought to be.
Founded in 1786, Friends Seminary, the oldest continually operating coeducational, independent Quaker school in New York City, seeks applications for a full-time educator for our Middle and Upper School drama program. Qualified candidates should demonstrate a variety of experience in teaching drama and directing plays with students in grades 8-12. Candidates must display a commitment to engaging, inspirational and dynamic teaching, in addition to a dedicated pursuit of diversity, equity and belonging in their work. We seek candidates who are proven program builders and who have a natural rapport with students in this age group. The School seeks a theater educator with a passion and commitment to student development through drama and theater.
