Green Acres School is seeking a long-term full-time 2nd grade Lower School teacher to join our dynamic staff community for the first semester of the 2024–2025 school year (approximately September–February). Lower School teachers at Green Acres enjoy a highly collaborative environment as they work to promote the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development of each child in the program.
