Derby seeks teachers who will support the mission of the school both in the classroom and around campus. An ability to inspire a love of learning and encourage children to embrace academic challenge is essential. It is equally important that adults in the community create and maintain a nurturing environment in which children feel comfortable participating actively in their own learning. Candidates must be well versed in developmentally appropriate practices and have a desire to work collaboratively as a member of a teaching team.

A competitive salary and benefits package includes generous funding of professional development. At least three years of previous teaching experience and a master’s degree is preferred, but teacher certification is not required for consideration. Derby seeks and supports diversity in its faculty.

Unless otherwise noted, candidates for all positions at Derby should send letters of interest, résumé and three references with contact information to:

Candidates are encouraged to apply directly, rather than through placement services.
