What are the responsibilities and job description for the Spanish/French Teacher position at Wolfeboro Camp School?
We are hiring an experienced world language teacher to teach both Spanish and French at our academic summer
program. Given the nature of our program, course sign-ups change each summer. However, we often have
enrollment for at least two sections of Spanish and at least one section of French.
Wolfeboro Camp School is a setting in which each teacher has a rewarding and exceptional professional
development experience. The School provides an exceedingly worthwhile experience for students and a
rewarding summer for our faculty. Teachers function predominately through the 1:00 pm meal, teaching and
providing extra help. Teachers do not reside on student residential campuses, and with the exception of meals in
the Jousson Dining Hall and one evening of study hall supervision per week, do not have formal residential
responsibilities.
Course Load and Teaching Philosophy
Teachers will generally teach four sections with four to five students per section. Every effort is made to
schedule a teacher with a maximum of twenty students and with no more than two preparations. Teachers are
expected to remain flexible with regard to specific courses and preparations.
By mission, Wolfeboro ensures academic progress for each student, and our teachers embrace this
obligation. Year after year, our teachers verify that Wolfeboro provides a stimulating professional environment
in which teaching skills always rise to the next level. Wolfeboro teachers exude an obvious enthusiasm for
organization, detail, responsibility, confidence and progress. Our collective passion for celebrating
accountability and daily success is a primary feature in each student’s Wolfeboro Experience. Professional
growth is enhanced by the inevitable sharing of ideas with more than 30 educators from as many independent
and public schools.
Teacher Reports
Each teacher prepares a brief internal written report on each student once per week. In addition, more
comprehensive written reports are prepared at the conclusion of the program. Your reports reflect Wolfeboro’s
reputation for teacher expertise, clarity and an emphasis on the positive.
Other Areas of Responsibility
Teachers supervise one evening study hall per week. With a partner faculty member, teachers also provide
coverage at a dining room table for all sit-down meals. Additionally, teachers are expected to chaperone students
to or from the airports on either Arrival or Departure Days.
- At least five (5) years of full-time classroom teaching experience
- Experience teaching in independent boarding or day school preferred
Dates of employment for the summer 2025 session are June 22 – July 31.
