Middle School Teacher

We are always looking for promising candidates to join our professional community in the Middle School. We encourage anyone interested in being considered for a teaching position to submit an application.

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 across disciplines to develop and refine curriculum and pedagogy according to the developmental needs of middle school students. A team-first attitude, sincere care for student well-being, and 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 Head of Middle School and Department Chair, all first-year faculty members benefit from a close relationship with a peer mentor and take part in a year-long onboarding program.
