About the hiring process...

The Field School begins accepting resumes for teaching positions for the next school year in January and continues to accept resumes throughout the year. However, faculty recruitment begins in earnest mid-February and aims to wrap up June 15. Most interviews are conducted on campus and require a day's visit. 
 
A bachelor's degree is required for all faculty openings, and many first-year hires have only this credential. Teaching certification, an advanced degree, and prior teaching experience are also welcome. Typically, Field hires teachers who have varied interests, are entrepreneurial in outlook, and are flexible in approach. But above all, Field is looking for outgoing, knowledgeable teachers who care deeply about kids and will fully engage in the life of the school.

Field also has a number of staff positions in support of our educational programs. Periodically, the school has openings in the Main Office, the Admissions Office, and the Advancement Office, as well as in the Maintenance Department. Those resumes should be e-mailed to employment@fieldschool.org.
