Are you looking for a stimulating summer teaching opportunity—one that will allow you to be part of a growing program, teach a dynamic and exceptional curriculum, work with other talented educators, and work on a beautiful campus that is rich in history and technology?

Lakeside School’s Summer School Programs is currently recruiting for a high school Computer Science II and III teacher. This will be a remote class taught online. These courses, which are often taken in succession, introduce students to computer programming through the Java language. These courses are structured around a series of projects that teach the principles and techniques of software engineering, culminating in an independent project which is presented to the class at the end of each course. Taking both courses prepares students for success on the AP Computer Science Exam in May. Computer Science II covers a semester’s worth of material, including elementary algorithms, data types, flow of control, user input, file input/output, recursion and some graphical applications using procedural programming techniques. Computer Science III covers object-oriented programming and inheritance in Java, more advanced data structures (lists, stacks, queues, trees), and the efficiency and complexity algorithms (particularly searching, sorting). These are graded courses, and students will earn one half year of credit (semester) for each course. There will be two to three hours of homework assigned each day. The position will be part time. The class will run June 21 – July 29 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. with one hour of designated office hours every afternoon. No classes will be held June 20 or July 4 for the national holidays, but classes will run 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. those weeks (week of June 21 and week of July 5) in order to make up the instructional time. There will also be a mandatory orientation on Thursday, June 16.
