Job Description

The Meadowbrook School of Weston, a pre-kindergarten through 8 th grade school located seven miles west of Boston, seeks a middle school English educator to cover a parental leave from September through early December 2026.

We seek a candidate who believes the middle school years are essential and who wholeheartedly desires to teach, advise, and learn from middle school students. Teachers with coaching experience are encouraged to apply. At Meadowbrook, smart, passionate people join together in an expansive learning environment with rigorous academics and innovative curricula to inspire, challenge, and empower students to achieve at the highest level, connect deeply with a diverse community, and courageously create change.

The English department is dynamic and collegial, working collaboratively, meeting together weekly, and devoted to the close study of literature and writing.

We also teach a poetry unit in each grade. The skills we seek to cultivate in students include: analytical writing, active reading, Harkness-style discussion, and creative writing in a range of genres.

  • A bachelor's degree in a relevant field is required; a master's degree is preferred
  • Familiarity with classroom uses of technology is a plus
  • Experience writing recommendations for secondary school is preferred but not required
