Associate Teachers, Grades K-2

Trinity School, a co-educational, K-12 institution located on the Upper West of Manhattan, seeks Associate Teachers to support classrooms in Grades K-2 beginning September 1, 2026.

The Lower School Associate Teacher program provides educators in the dawn of their careers the opportunity to work alongside and learn from an experienced Head Teacher. Designed for college graduates interested in pursuing a teaching career, the majority of appointments last for three years, in the same classroom.

Qualified candidates are passionate about working with children and put students’ needs first. We seek educators who are collaborative in nature and eager to learn, and who have a joyful sense of humor. We expect all community members to demonstrate a commitment to an equitable classroom culture inclusive of varied student experiences, and an awareness of how race, gender, and other aspects of identity manifest themselves in the early childhood classroom.

While many Associate candidates have one or two years of student teaching experience in independent/charter/public schools and have obtained or are working towards a Master’s degree, we also welcome qualified mid-career changers with limited classroom experience.

If you are flexible in thinking, interested in contributing to conversations about instruction and curriculum, and have experience with technology (for example, Smart Board, Zoom, Seesaw, Google Classroom, etc.), please submit a cover letter and resume.

An Equal Opportunity Employer, Trinity School seeks candidates who will add to the diversity of our school community.

Interested candidates should post a resume as well as a cover letter outlining their readiness for this position.

Applications will be reviewed beginning Monday, January 5, 2026.

The salary range for this position is $62,000 - $72,000 and is based upon several factors that include, but are not limited to, the candidate’s work experience, education, and training.
