Position Type
Full-Time/Regular
Boston University Academy is seeking a full-time history teacher to begin in July 2026 as a one-year leave replacement. Primary responsibilities include teaching three to four sections of history. Course placements are still being developed for next year, and we have some flexibility to tailor the teaching load to the strengths and interests of the candidate. The teacher will join a five-person department committed to discussion-based classes, intensive primary source work, interdisciplinary connections, and a focus on analytical writing. BUA faculty are also involved outside the classroom in a variety of ways, including advising, chaperoning trips and events, and leading extracurricular activities.
The ideal candidate will have at least three years of teaching experience, an advanced degree in history or a related field, a student-centered approach, deep and diverse historical interests, and a passion for working with high school students. For all
positions, we look for candidates who enjoy working with colleagues in a collaborative
environment, who are flexible and creative, who will fully engage in the life of the school, and who are committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable community.
As the only high school in New England that is part of a major research university, Boston University Academy (BUA) offers students who love learning both a traditional, caring independent school experience and access to a broad range of university courses. In the eleventh and twelfth grades, students follow their passions by regularly completing up to twelve courses from Boston University’s undergraduate curriculum. The school’s 225 students are curious, capable, and kind. They come from 45 cities and towns in the Greater Boston area. 54% of students identify as students of color. 27% of students are on financial aid — a reflection of BUA’s commitment to equity and access.
Boston University’s generous benefits package includes health, dental, life insurance,
and paid time off. Full-time employees are also eligible for tuition remission for graduate
work at Boston University, and remission extends to dependents as well. For more details on benefits, please refer to the Boston University benefits page here.
To apply, please upload a resume, list of references (if available), and cover letter addressed to Dr. Rosemary White, Associate Head of School. Direct questions to buacareers@bu.edu.
Required Experience
We are an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, natural or protective hairstyle, religion, sex, age, national origin, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, military service, pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition, or because of marital, parental, or veteran status.
