Lower School Assistant Teacher

Working at North Shore is both wonderfully challenging and rewarding.

Our faculty and administration ask a great deal of themselves just as they ask much from their students.

We seek lower, middleand upper school teaching candidates who are well matched to our philosophy and approach to education. We look for teachers who have the skills and knowledge to challenge, engage and educate our students. Those who—through their written application materials, interviews and references—demonstrate a high level of commitment and exceptional skills will be viewed as particularly well matched to join the ranks of our faculty.

We provide employees with competitive salaries, benefits and support for professional development through funding available during the academic year and the summer.

North Shore Country Day, a progressive, academically rigorous, co-ed, JK-12 independent school near Chicago, seeks candidates for an immediate lower school assistant teacher opening for the remainder of the  academic year.

Candidates should be at the start of their teaching career and have a desire to support, work collaboratively with and be mentored by experienced educators. Additionally, we seek candidates who have a demonstrable passion for the development of lower school age students as individuals and learners. A bachelor’s degree is required. North Shore is eager to consider applications from groups traditionally underrepresented in independent school communities.

The role will include assisting in homerooms (instructional areas include literacy, mathematics, and social studies as well as the social/emotional curriculum) and supporting the work of the lead teachers and the broader school community through other responsibilities such as covering recess and lunch duties and assisting with the transition of students to our after-care program.
