Upper School Faculty

The Rivers School — a 6-12 co-ed independent day school in Weston, MA, just outside Boston — seeks professionals who are looking to join a dynamic, innovative, and welcoming school community.

Full-time faculty positions include teaching four classes, advising, and contributing to the school’s co-curricular program as a coach or club advisor. Candidates must possess a commitment to professional development as well as the ability and desire to collaborate effectively with colleagues to develop their department’s curriculum and pedagogy. A team-first attitude, a sincere care for student well-being, and a commitment to advancing the school’s DEI mission are also essential qualities for a successful Rivers teacher. A bachelor’s degree in a related subject is required.

Rivers encourages interest from candidates who will enrich the diversity of identity, experience, and perspectives among our professional and school community. We recognize that skilled and innovative individuals follow a variety of pathways in life, and we enthusiastically invite applications from those who may have experience that meets our qualifications in non-traditional ways. Rivers offers BIPOC affinity, LGBTQ+ affinity, and white allyship spaces for professionals, as well as institutional professional development, to support and enrich our work around equity and access. In addition to mentorship from peers and direct supervisors, all professional community members benefit from a year-long onboarding program.

Salary range: $70,000 to $115,000 annually
