Modern Language Teacher (French/Spanish)

The Mountain School of Milton Academy seeks a Modern Language teacher for the 2026-27 academic year. The Mountain School is a semester-long, residential academic program for high school juniors set on four hundred acres in central Vermont. Each fall and spring semester, 45 students from across the country join our campus where they take academic classes, participate in our farm and outdoor programs, and build a diverse and interdependent community of scholars.

The ideal candidate will be able to:

• Teach two sections of Spanish at the Honors and AP level
• Teach one section of French
• Work with students on the farm and in the woods
• Participate fully in the life of the school, which requires supervision of some evening and weekend activities, attendance at meals, and support of school programs

We also encourage applications from candidates who want part-time and/or hybrid teaching. For instance, we would be pleased to consider a candidate who wanted to teach French (only) part-time, or who could teach Spanish and French but was not interested in the additional components of the position. Candidates who could teach in person twice a week and be remote once a week are also encouraged to apply.

The successful candidate will:

• Have at minimum a BA
• Be ready to live and work in rural Vermont
• Possess an understanding of the need to focus on inclusion, equity, and belonging when working in a school environment. Experience working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ students.

Salary is based on experience, starting at $40,000 for a full-time position. Full-time positions include medical and dental insurance as well as a retirement plan. On campus housing with residential life responsibilities is possible, but not guaranteed. Other benefits include meals on campus from our “farm to table” kitchen, easy access to outdoor spaces and trails, and opportunities to pursue professional development.

The Mountain School encourages candidates who would add to the racial, cultural, and gender diversity of the school community. Candidates will be required to complete criminal, sexual offender, and driving record check as well as fingerprinting checks. The Mountain School is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

To apply for this position, please send a resume, a concise statement of interest specific to the Mountain School, and a list of three references to Alex Myers at alex.myers@mountainschool.org

Preference given to applications received by February 1, 2026. We will begin review of applications as we receive them, and we will continue reviewing applications until the position is filled.
