Secondary English Teacher (School Year 2026-2027)

The SEED School of Maryland | Baltimore, MD

Salary: $54,000 – $85,000 (based on experience)

At The SEED School of Maryland, teaching goes beyond the classroom.

We are a public, college-preparatory boarding school serving students across the state in a 24-hour, 5-day learning environment. Our model is built to support the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our teachers don’t just deliver content. They shape habits, build confidence, and prepare students for college and life.

If you are driven by purpose, committed to high expectations, and ready to be part of a structured, mission-aligned environment, SEED offers a unique opportunity to do meaningful work at scale.

The Secondary English Teacher (Grades 6–12) is responsible for designing and delivering rigorous, standards-aligned instruction that prepares students for academic success and postsecondary pathways.

This role requires a strong instructional foundation, data-driven planning, and the ability to build relationships that support student growth both inside and outside the classroom.

You will report to the Assistant Principal and collaborate closely with instructional and student support teams.

• You are teaching within a boarding school model where student development extends beyond the classroom
• You will work with students who require both high support and high expectations
• You will be expected to use data consistently to drive instruction and close gaps
• You are part of a team-oriented environment with shared accountability for student outcomes

This role is not ideal for educators seeking a low-accountability or highly autonomous classroom environment without collaboration.

Student Support & Engagement

• Monitor student progress and provide targeted support as needed
• Serve as a key point of contact for student academic development
• Support extracurricular activities and broader school programming as needed

• Educators who believe all students can achieve at high levels
• Teachers who are structured, consistent, and data-driven
• Professionals who value collaboration and accountability
• Individuals who can build relationships while maintaining high expectations

• Educators seeking minimal oversight or low-accountability environments

• Individuals who struggle with classroom management or consistency
• Educators looking for a strictly traditional, isolated teaching role

Preferred

• Prior experience teaching middle or high school English/ELA
• Experience working with diverse or underserved student populations
