PURPOSE:

Shattuck-St. Mary’s is seeking a Spanish instructor for the 2024-25 school year. Candidates should be able to teach all levels of Spanish. Candidates with the ability to teach in other disciplines or languages are strongly encouraged

Founded in 1858, Shattuck-St. Mary’s School (SSM) is an Episcopal, co-educational, college preparatory, independent boarding/day school serving 500 students in grades 6th-postgraduate from 37 states and over 30 countries. Set on a beautiful 250-acre campus south of Minneapolis/St. Paul in Minnesota, SSM offers a mix of traditional and progressive education. By cultivating creative and independent thinking, SSM fosters the transformation of its students to become citizens of integrity for an ever-changing world.

Ideal candidates will have a strong interest in working with students in grades 6 – 12 and be happy in a small school where collaboration, connection, and community come first. World Language classes at SSM are often multi-age as students join our school at different points in their language instruction; therefore, candidates should be prepared to teach students in different grade levels in the same classroom. Candidates will be comfortable instructing in an innovative educational environment, familiar with technology in the classroom, and open to blended teaching. In addition, the World Language Department is looking for a collegial team player to work with other members of the department in regular meetings and collaborative projects.

Shattuck St. Mary’s School is a boarding/day school and faculty members are expected to be involved with both co-curricular activities and standard residential life duties involved with a boarding school setting.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Candidates should have at least 2-4 years’ experience teaching; however, we will consider first year teaching candidates.
• Candidates will have demonstrated fluency in Spanish.
• A bachelor’s degree in relevant field is required; master’s degree or relevant coursework preferred.

In support of its pursuit of academic and scholarly excellence, Shattuck-St. Mary’s School is committed to creating a diverse community of students, faculty, and staff that is dedicated to the fundamental principles of equal opportunity treatment in education and employment regardless of age, color, disability, gender identity, national origin, political ideology, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or veteran status. The school encourages and is eager to consider applications from individuals whose differing backgrounds, beliefs, ideas, and life experiences will further enrich the diversity of its educational community.
