    Description

    Oneness-Family Montessori High School is seeking a High School STEM Teacher (Full Time) to join our motivated and collaborative teaching team for the 2025/26 school year.

Courses will range from Algebra 1 to Calculus and Life and Physical Sciences among other interdisciplinary elective options based on the interests and expertise of the candidate.

The program provides a consistent, yet flexible, structure; high expectations for work and conduct; a system of accountability; opportunities for student-led learning; and a focus on problem-solving. The curriculum promotes independence, self-direction, metacognition, and critical thinking. At its core, the collective elements of the program are a means to build community, discover passion, deepen curiosity, and provide experiences for each adolescent to engage deeply and meaningfully in self-discovery.

    The mission of the Oneness-Family School is to ignite the spark in a new generation of courageous and capable leaders through a student-centered community of diversity, academic excellence, and innovation in the Montessori tradition.
