Punahou School recognizes the richness of its traditions, as well as its responsibility to deliver a relevant educational experience in a rapidly changing world. It remains anchored in the aim of developing the full potential of each student through a broad and vigorous program of studies and through deep experiences for exploration, growth and mastery. Our faculty attends to the social-emotional and ethical learning of our students via strong relationships, and learning opportunities to foster empathy, resilience, moral reasoning, and social responsibility.

Our teachers are agile learners themselves, demonstrating a growth mindset and a commitment to their continual professional development. Incoming teachers will join a dedicated and inspiring faculty whose ongoing reflection and renewal is supported by a school wide culture of collaboration and innovation.

The Assistant Teacher will collaborate with teachers to support student learning outside of the classroom. The Assistant Teacher’s primary role will be to help provide a safe learning environment by supporting experiences on the outdoor areas, in outdoor classroom settings, and other areas of the school. In the outdoor areas, the Assistant Teacher actively ensures the safety and well-being of students, play areas and grounds for safety.

The ideal candidate will understand the developmental stages of children, ability to use multiple teaching strategies to provide for a range of student needs, the ability to develop and support a positive learning environment, and the ability to communicate effectively and sensitively with students to support their learning.
