On this page you will be prompted to create an online profile, complete our teaching application, and upload a copy of your most recent resume.

Step 2. Phone Interview
Applicants invited to the next stage of the process will engage in a 30-45 minute video interview with a member of our Teacher Recruitment and Selection Team. After you submit your application, you will receive an email within two weeks to let you know if you have been selected for a phone interview. We may also request a video of you teaching after the phone interview.
Step 3. On-Campus Interview & Live Demo Lesson
After the phone interview, selected applicants will be invited to an in-person interview at our campus. During your visit, you will have the opportunity to tour around our school, observe classroom instruction, speak with members of our staff, and conduct a 30-minute lesson with our students using an objective we provide. After the lesson, you will have the opportunity to reflect on your lesson with the Instructional Leadership Team, receive some feedback, and engage in a conversation about your fit at our school. For long-distance candidates, we will reimburse you for part of your travel costs.
Step 4. Reference Check
On your online application, you will be asked to submit three references with whom you are comfortable having us speak regarding your past professional experience. After the on-campus interview, we will notify you if we plan to reach out to your references for additional information before an offer is made.
