Upper Division Math Teacher (26-27 School Year)

Denver JDS announces the opening of a full-time math teaching position for grades 6-12.

Denver Jewish Day School Background:

Our pluralistic Jewish community day school prepares and inspires Jewish students through an extraordinary secular and Judaic education to live purposefully, act ethically, and thrive in the world. We serve approximately 360 students in grades PK-12 on a beautiful campus in southeast Denver. Our Upper Division comprises around 99 middle schoolers in grades 6-8 and another 95 or so high school students. Our approximately 35 Upper Division faculty and staff come from diverse backgrounds and share a commitment to caring for and educating young people holistically.

Role and responsibilities of the teacher:

Denver Jewish Day School seeks a passionate, caring, and skillful math teacher for the 2025-2026 school year. The position entails teaching five sections of math, with specific course assignments to be determined based on the new hire’s interest and expertise. In addition to fulfilling their core teaching responsibilities, full-time faculty at Denver JDS are expected to engage with students in other settings, including advisory, athletics, class trips, Wednesday electives, clubs, and extracurricular activities. Class sizes are small (about 15 students on average), and teachers are typically able to offer students substantial personal attention. Faculty work closely with our Student Support Center staff to help meet the needs of students with learning differences.

Qualifications:

We are looking for an experienced educator who is excited about working in a small school environment where it is possible to get to know students well and provide highly individualized guidance and support. The ideal candidate will have a record of excellence in prior teaching roles, an interest in teaching both Middle and High School, the ability to teach across the curriculum from pre-Algebra through calculus, exceptional communication skills, and an interest in developing creative curricula in collaboration with colleagues. Candidates who can teach science, Calculus III, and other advanced math courses may receive preference.

Compensation:

The salary range is $50,000-$68,000, depending on experience. We also offer a comprehensive benefits package. Faculty and staff whose children are enrolled at the school receive an automatic 50 percent discount on tuition (and additional tuition assistance may be available).

Applicants should send a resume and cover letter to Upper Division Vice Principal Danielle Sapiens and to High School Dean & STEM coordinator Melanie Knowles.
