Priority Listing

Grade One Teacher

Waldorf School of Lexington, located in the Greater Boston area, is currently accepting applications for a Grade One Teacher. This onsite position has an expected start date of August 2026 and offers full-benefits with a salary range of $56, commensurate with experience.

As a Waldorf class teacher, the successful candidate will understand a developmental approach to education, observe each individual child with reverence, and craft lessons to meet their ideals, fears and aspirations. By integrating the arts with history, science, geography, social studies, and mathematics, the class teacher will offer a transformational experience just at the time children are asking, “who am I and what am I here to do?”

Lessons will be crafted to include projects which exercise student initiative and build self-knowledge.

Waldorf class teachers are storytellers, musicians, artists, and dramatic coaches as they interpret the curriculum at each phase of development. The class teacher is also responsible for students’ overall academic and social development.

A Student Support Team and dedicated group of special subject teachers work closely with the class teacher to serve each student’s learning needs. In recent years our governance model has changed from one led by a college of teachers to a centralized leadership team with a Head of School.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Bachelor’s degree
• 2+ years of teaching experience
• Waldorf teacher training or willingness to pursue this training
• Energy, commitment, and vitality for working with children
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate with colleagues
• Interest in responsibly innovating the Waldorf curriculum for the 21st-century
