Upper School Math Teacher

Glenelg Country School (GCS) is an independent day school serving students age 2 – grade 12. Our mission is to cultivate a diverse community of learners who discover, contribute, thrive, and excel. These principles serve as a foundation for all we do.

The school seeks an Upper School math teacher for the  school year. The teaching assignment will include several sections of math at multiple levels in grades 9-12 in a department noted for its vigorous instruction and collaborative culture. The successful candidate will bring to GCS a love of working with adolescents, a skills-based approach to teaching, and a desire to play a significant role in the life of a school in and out of the classroom.

The ability to explore interdisciplinary activities and offer trimester or full-year courses outside the core curriculum will be an important advantage. Comfort teaching a wide range of learners and integrating digital technologies to enhance the classroom experience are essential. GCS is a thriving community built on the holistic development of its students, and all full-time Upper School teachers contribute to enrichment activities and advise a group of ten to eleven students for their entire Upper School career.
