Working at Red Bridge
Teachers at Red Bridge are not only in charge of instruction, but are also contributing to creating a new model of education. This means that teachers are designing their own lessons based on the Red Bridge scope and sequence and creating new systems and structures that align with the Red Bridge mission. While this role asks more of teachers than a traditional teaching role, it also provides the opportunity to have a much further-reaching impact and to truly change how we educate kids. Red Bridge regularly has educators from around the globe tour the school to learn from our model. Red Bridge teachers are known for being highly intentional and structured, which results in students who are empowered to drive their own learning. Our teachers believe in high standards for students and create learning environments that support students in showing up as their best and most capable selves. Red Bridge is also a more collaborative environment than most, which can be both exciting and challenging. Red Bridge teachers are willing to find compromise, excited to learn from others, comfortable giving and receiving feedback, happy to lend a hand, and approach this all with a good sense of humor. If you are excited by this, please apply!
Position Overview
For the 2026 - 2027 school year, we plan to hire two or three exceptional elementary school teachers to lead small group instruction in Reading, Writing, Math, Critical Thinking & World Studies, or Observation (Art/Science). The particular content areas will be based on prior experience and interest. This teaching role will work with students in ability-based small groups (8-15 students) at one of a Kindergarten – 5th grade level. For academics, students are grouped based on skill level in the subject area rather than their age or grade. The Elementary Teacher is responsible for planning instruction, collaborating with the Red Bridge teaching team, and creating a supportive learning environment.
