Solebury School seeks a qualified Mathematics Teacher with experience and enthusiasm for teaching high school students to begin in the 2026-2027 academic year. An intentionally small, all-gender, independent day and boarding school serving students in grades 9–12, Solebury is nestled on a rolling 140-acre campus in the Pennsylvania countryside.

At Solebury, students and faculty pursue learning as a shared endeavor; this approach to education is a cornerstone of the school’s philosophy. Faculty play a central role in students’ academic, social, and residential lives, and teaching here is intentionally relational and community-oriented. The ideal candidate will be eager to join a close-knit school community grounded in mutual respect, collaboration, and shared responsibility. On-campus housing may be available.

We also welcome interest from part-time candidates for a second, separate opening.
