Garden School is excited to announce the opening of a unique position for the fall of 2026. The position is focused on Humanities and will include a combination of Language Arts and History across upper elementary and middle grades.
Experience and expertise working with this age group (6th - 8th) as well as comfort with a range of texts and practices relevant to young readers, writers, and curious historians is required.
This position saddles grades 6 and 7 with a combination of a traditional Literature and History class alongside an interdisciplinary Humanities block course focused on American Innovations.
The ideal candidate has experience teaching reading, writing, history, and/or humanities and demonstrates a passion for adolescent literature, a desire to explore and connect across disciplines, and a commitment to addressing the individual child in their instruction through novel and innovative classroom experiences.
Garden School is an innovative and collaborative environment where teachers have smaller than usual rosters so they may focus on the interests and needs of bright and sophisticated individuals all of whom are college bound.
The Humanities Department consists of eight faculty who teach reading, writing, and history across the school, Deans who support faculty in different grades, and Chairs for both English and History.
