Spanish Teacher

About Baltimore Collegiate
Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys was inspired by the power of the David and Goliath parable to
explain the challenges facing boys, especially boys of color. David, a young boy and decided
underdog, took only five smooth stones into battle; he used those stones to slay the giant and
subsequently become a great leader.

Research indicates that all-boys schools promote high level academic achievement, better recognize
and address the specific developmental needs of boys and are more likely to encourage creativity
among boys.

The expressed vision of Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys is that every boy attending our school
will become as simply and powerfully equipped as David. Each Baltimore Collegiate gent will develop
five virtues –Integrity, Wisdom, Courage, Compassion and Resilience– their own five smooth stones
to slay the many giants that are common obstacles on the path to success in life.

At Baltimore Collegiate we believe that only with great teachers can we reach our mission while
reaching every gent in our care. We know that teachers have the most important and critical role in
supporting our young gents to equip them to successfully move onto competitive high schools and
develop obstacle crushing character traits along the way.

To that end, we are hiring for a Spanish Teacher.
