Part-Time Upper School Mathematics Teacher
Maybe the bells and the full course load no longer fit your life. But the moment when a student's eyes light up because Geometry suddenly makes sense? That still does.
About the role
Moravian Academy is looking for a part-time Upper School Mathematics Teacher to join us at the Merle-Smith Campus. This is a 50% FTE role, intentionally designed for someone who wants meaningful work without the weight of a full-time schedule. You'll teach Algebra 1 and Geometry, meeting your students four times a week and holding two office hours sessions. The rest of your time is yours.
At the Upper School level, this role is less about crowd management and more about real conversation, with curious, capable students who want to understand the why behind the math. You'll know their names, their learning styles, and what encourages them to take an intellectual risk.
Responsibilities
- Teach Algebra 1 and Geometry, four times a week
- Hold two office hours sessions per week
- Engage in student-centered teaching focused on deep understanding and intellectual curiosity
- Build strong relationships with students, understanding their learning styles and needs
- Collaborate with colleagues as part of a vibrant academic community
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree (Master's preferred) in Mathematics, Education, or a related field
- Experience teaching secondary mathematics, including Algebra 1 and Geometry
- Student-centered approach and genuine enthusiasm for the subject
- Strong communication skills with students, families, and colleagues
- Collaborative spirit
Independent school experience and comfort with educational technology are a plus, but what matters most is that you believe the best part of teaching is the student in front of you.
Benefits
This role is designed to offer meaningful part-time work with a lighter schedule, allowing time for other pursuits while maintaining rich student relationships.
