Job Description

Middle School French Teacher for 2025-2026

We are looking for a highly qualified educator for a French teaching position in the World Languages Department at the Middle School (grades 7-9). Do you have a demonstrated ability to deliver rich and effective lessons that include listening, speaking, reading, and writing to a diverse group of students, likely including those with varying levels of exposure to French? We are looking for a teacher who can facilitate classroom lessons in the target language to enhance students' social and academic language skills. Plus, a willingness to work as part of a vertically aligned team is essential, as we strive to ensure a smooth transition for students between middle school levels and between divisions. The position will most likely consist of four Middle School beginning and novice-level classes, as well as one 9th grade French I class on the Middle School campus. Depending on annual sectioning, there may be the possibility to team teach an intermediate, 9th-grade French II course.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree or international equivalent degree in French Language, French Literature, Education, Linguistics or related field.
  • Fluency in French.
  • Experience teaching beginning and intermediate second language courses in a school classroom environment.
  • Demonstrated collegiality, collaboration, and organization.
  • Ability to communicate concepts clearly and concisely to students of all learning styles.
  • Ability to cultivate an innovative and creative learning environment that upholds the school’s standards for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  • Eagerness to become part of our vibrant school community, broadly engaging with students and colleagues, and attending events outside their particular field of study.

We seek candidates who demonstrate sensitivity, knowledge, and understanding of the diverse backgrounds of community members; have the ability to work flexibly, independently, and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment with individuals from a diverse set of backgrounds; and have the capacity to serve as a model of openness, generosity, and acceptance.

Compensation:

Anticipated base compensation is $80,000 - $100,000 depending on experience. The position will begin in August 2025.
