Upper School Faculty

The Rivers School — a 6-12 co-ed independent day school in Weston, MA, just outside Boston — seeks professionals who are looking to join a dynamic, innovative, and welcoming school community.

Full-time faculty positions include teaching four classes, advising, and contributing to the school’s co-curricular program as a coach or club advisor.  Candidates must possess a commitment to professional development as well as the ability and desire to collaborate effectively with colleagues to develop their department’s curriculum and pedagogy.  A team-first attitude, a sincere care for student well-being, and a commitment to advancing the school’s DEI mission are also essential qualities for a successful Rivers teacher. A bachelor’s degree in a related subject is required.  

Rivers encourages interest from candidates who will enrich the diversity of identity, experience, and perspectives among our faculty body and school community. Rivers offers BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and white ally affinity spaces for faculty, as well as school-wide professional development to support and enrich our DEI work. In addition to extensive mentoring from the Department Chair and Dean of Faculty, all first-year faculty members benefit from a close relationship with a peer mentor and take part in a year-long onboarding program led by the Director of New Faculty Development.
