Teacher​/Leader

Field Middle is a non-profit independent middle school for boys in its fifth year of operation. We are currently hiring for a full-time middle school teacher as our program is growing, to start in August 2026. This is a once-in-a-teaching-lifetime opportunity to create and be a part of a mission-centered and innovative program, forge deep connections with students and their families, work alongside thoughtful and fun colleagues, and build personal and professional skills by being part of the foundation of a newer school.

As we are expanding and adding an additional staff member to round out our current strengths and areas of discipline, we are open to the right person regardless of their areas of expertise. The ideal candidate would have a background and expertise in multiple disciplines (that is why the title of this search includes math, science, humanities and Spanish). The ideal candidate would be inspired by creating a state-of-the-art and irresistible program for middle school boys and would be inspired to augment the school in other aspects of our mission.

We are looking for people who:

• are forever learners;
• have proven records of creating irresistible classrooms/leading irresistible programs or initiatives;
• have expertise and experience in their field(s);
• love working with middle school boys and find connection to our school’s mission;
• have an open heart and mind;
• represent the rich diversity of the peninsula, are dedicated to equity and inclusion, and work toward their own cultural humility and awareness;
• want to guide students in their emotional as well as academic growth;
• possess the organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills necessary to be an effective colleague and community member;
• take initiative, work passionately and joyfully, are flexible to take on new roles as needed, and collaborate effectively with diverse constituencies; and
• have contagious integrity & humor.

Field Middle sparks curiosity, builds integrity, and inspires change. Through hands-on, dynamic, integrated projects, Field supports middle school boys to build:

• awareness of their talents, how they respond to challenge, opportunities for growth, their impact on those around them, and the roles they play in their families, communities, and the world;
• confidence to explore, be vulnerable, challenge themselves and others, try new things, be creative, and express their authentic selves;
• connection with their peers, their teachers, their families, and their community; and
• purpose to use what they learn about themselves and the world to create positive change.

The curriculum is designed to address the unique academic, developmental, and social/emotional needs of boys during their middle school years. We firmly believe that our community needs a school invested in supporting boys on their journey to becoming exceptional men.

We will be located in downtown San Mateo (moving this summer), just minutes from the San Mateo Caltrain station. Our staff and families and students come from all parts of the Peninsula. We commit to having a student body that accurately reflects San Mateo County, and the school is dedicating 20% of its revenue to tuition assistance, which is almost double that of its competitor independent schools.

Inclusion Policy:
Field does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religious background, sexual orientation or national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, financial aid programs, and athletic or other school-administered programs.
