Upper School Humanities Teacher (2026-2027, FT)
About Cascades Academy
Cascades Academy is an independent PK-12 day school with ~250 students located in the beautiful mountain town of Bend, Oregon. The school was founded in 2003 and resides on an award-winning 45-acre campus located on the Deschutes River. The school’s unique mission weaves challenging academics with experiential learning within an engaged, vibrant community.
Cascades Academy values employees who are committed to our mission, are prepared to engage fully in a learning community, and are excited to bring their authentic selves to work. Cascades Academy’s culture is highly collaborative and puts what is best for students at the center of the work. Regularly named one of the Best Nonprofits to Work for in Oregon, our faculty and staff see each other as teammates and feel motivated to do their best work here.
Cascades Academy strives to cultivate and maintain a supportive, inclusive community for all employees and actively promotes a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism.
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they meet every one of the qualifications as described in the job description. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job and are eager to consider applications from groups traditionally underrepresented in independent school communities.
The Upper School
The Cascades Academy Upper School is led by a collection of dedicated, dynamic educators working to support students seeking a different kind of high school experience. As a member of the Mastery Transcript Consortium, the class of 2027 will be the first to benefit from this innovative approach to high school education.
