Milton Academy is seeking applicants for a full-time Upper School Spanish teacher position within the Modern Languages Department, supporting students in grades 9 through 12. This position begins in August 2026.
The teacher will be responsible for teaching four classes and will play an active role in the broader life of the school community.

A strong academic background in the Spanish language, literature, or a related field is essential.
Candidates with certification or an advanced degree in teaching Spanish as a second language are strongly preferred.

The ideal candidate demonstrates excellent teaching skills, creativity in curriculum design, and a commitment to ongoing professional growth.
Beyond the classroom, Milton faculty members are active contributors to the life of the school, including advising, participating in community and residential life activities, among other duties. Work authorization required; no sponsorship available.
