Open Call for Class Teachers

Waldorf School of Lexington, located in the Greater Boston area, is currently accepting applications for full-time Waldorf-trained class teachers. This onsite position has an expected start date of August 2025 and offers full-benefits with a salary range of $56,500-84,000 commensurate with experience.

As a Waldorf class teacher, the successful candidate will understand the development approach to educating both young children and adolescents, observe each individual child with reverence, and craft lessons to meet their ideals, fears and aspirations. By integrating the arts with history, science, geography, social studies, and mathematics, the class teacher will offer a transformational experience just at the time children are asking, “who am I and what am I here to do?” Lessons will be crafted to include projects which exercise student initiative and build self-knowledge. 

Waldorf class teachers are storytellers, musicians, artists, and dramatic coaches as they interpret the curriculum at each phase of development. The class teacher is also responsible for students’ overall academic and social development. Subject specialists are part of the teaching team working toward the same goals. They teach Spanish, Mandarin, math, reading, English, music, movement, handwork, woodwork, and athletics. Special main lesson block teachers also support the class teacher as needed. A Student Support Team works closely with the team of teachers to serve each student’s learning needs. In recent years our governance model has changed from one led by a college of teachers to a centralized leadership team with a Head of School.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Bachelor’s degree 
• 2+ years of teaching experience
• Waldorf teacher training
• Energy, commitment, and vitality for working with middle school children
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate with colleagues
• Interest in responsibly innovating the Waldorf curriculum for the 21st-century

To Apply: Please email a cover letter, resume, and three references (written or provide contact information) in a single pdf to info@thewaldorfschool.org.
