Spanish Instructor

World Languages And Cultures Faculty Position

Culver Academies, serving approximately 830 students, seeks qualified candidates for a full-time World Languages and Cultures faculty position to start as soon as possible for the 26/27 school year. Qualified candidates will hold at least a BA in Spanish with several years of teaching experience at the secondary school level preferred. Teachers with experience teaching in a constructivist environment or have familiarity with designing proficiency-based curricula and integrated performance assessments are strongly encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities related to curriculum and level leadership are a possibility for a qualified and experienced candidate. Responsibilities include the ability to teach all levels of language and culture from introductory to Advanced Placement in a 4 x 4 intensive block schedule. Teachers in the World Languages and Cultures department teach two sections at any one time, with an average total student load of 32 during a term of Spanish classes.

While Culver is not a triple-threat boarding school, all faculty and staff commit to making significant contributions to the athletic or residential life program of the school, as personal interest and institutional needs dictate. Culver Academies places a premium on a teaching and learning culture in which faculty routinely talk about practice, observe each other in the practice of teaching, create curriculum together, and teach each other what they know about teaching and learning.

The successful candidate will collaborate with the Spanish team as well as a multilingual team in order to design the student experience. Successful candidates will have a commitment to fostering belonging and inclusion in concert with our student-generated Diversity Statement.

Culver Academies is a private boarding school located on the shore of Lake Maxinkuckee, encompassing 1,800 acres of green hills and woodlands, and a historic collegiate-like campus with beautiful Gothic architecture. Our location in Culver, Indiana, offers the best of both worlds; a beautiful, serene setting with access to large cities nearby, including the home of the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.

We are also less than two hours away from Chicago and Indianapolis.
