Careers
Lead with Mind and Heart
At Derby Academy, we believe relationships transform learning.
We are seeking talented faculty and staff who are passionate about embracing our mission to improve both mind and heart. Working on Broad Cove is more than a job; it’s an opportunity to become a mentor in a community where every child is seen, known, and cared for.
For more than two centuries, Derby’s faculty and staff have served as leaders in Pre-K to Grade 8 education, guiding students to become confident, articulate leaders. Join the history of the oldest coeducational independent day school in New England.
If you would benefit from any accommodations at any point during the application process, please contact our Human Resources Manager, Nicole Anastos, at nanastos@derbyacademy.org.

A Welcoming Community
Lasting friendships, supportive colleagues, and dedicated professionals make Derby more than just a great place to work—trivia nights, an annual Faculty vs. Grade 8 soccer game, and “First Friday” social gatherings help build important connections outside the classroom. As educators, our goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where each person freely brings his or her whole self to school each day.
Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
Derby Academy is committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive educational community and does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, religion, gender, color, veteran status, physical ability, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin, or any other state or federally protected classifications. Derby Academy is an equal opportunity employer.
Derby Academy values inclusivity and encourages candidates from diverse backgrounds or who have experience in cultural competency work to apply.
Benefits of Joining Our Community
As Educators, We Never Stop Learning
Derby offers travel grants and educational workshops that provide opportunities for our teachers to expand their professional development.
We are guided by our motto, mission, Strategic Plans, AISNE (Association of Independent Schools of New England) accreditations, initiatives, and data-driven assessments to schedule, apply, analyze, and tweak our professional development opportunities over the years.
It is a welcome source of predictable growth for our faculty to stay current in their subject areas and to share their own Celebrations of Learning with their colleagues during the year.
