We are looking for an experienced Spanish teacher to join our team in January 2025, at some point this month. This position includes teaching four periods per day, including small, mixed grade groupings ranging from our youngest learners (JK / K) to our Upper School students (7th / 8th).
The on campus schedule is Monday to Friday from 10am - 3pm, with another hour per day either on or off site to prepare for classes.
Why teach Spanish at SCA?
- We value foreign language acquisition! We want students to really learn a language and so classes are four to five days per week
- We want learning Spanish to be fun. More activities, games and conversations; less memorizing vocabulary and grammar
- We have the best team of teachers and the most supportive families; work in a positive environment that values you and what you do
What are we looking for in an SCA Spanish teacher?
- Native or fluent level Spanish ability
- The ability to teach class entirely (90% ) in Spanish as you make learning fun and successful
- Experience teaching multiple ages and experience creating your own lessons and activities (we can help with goals, materials and support, but you will be expected to develop the lessons day-to-day)
- A positive attitude! Students look forward to your class, colleagues look forward to you being on campus, and parents look forward to seeing you at school and school events.
Interested candidates, we look forward to receiving your resume and connecting with you soon,
