Starting July 2026
The Position
The Nueva School invites applications from distinguished educators and scholars in English and literary studies who are eager to bring university-level intellectual rigor to a dynamic, forward-thinking secondary school environment.
We seek a teacher whose academic preparation and scholarly engagement reflect deep expertise in literary analysis, writing instruction, and critical theory across American, British, and world traditions. The ideal candidate views teaching as an intellectual partnership cultivating close reading, advanced research, and original argumentation in highly capable adolescents.
Nueva’s Upper School is a purposefully designed model of inquiry-based, interdisciplinary education. Our students are advanced thinkers who thrive in environments that privilege complexity, discourse, and authentic intellectual challenge. Faculty exercise curricular autonomy and collaborate closely across disciplines to shape a continually evolving academic program.
We are seeking applicants who represent the full diversity of our community in the Bay Area. Our ideal candidate will possess a deep appreciation for diverse socioeconomic, racial, cultural, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, academic, and ethnic backgrounds. Candidates are strongly encouraged to consider whether their values align with Nueva’s Mission, Vision, and Values.
