Horizons at Greene Street Friends School is seeking a dynamic and effective STEM Teacher to

join our team this summer. The qualified candidate will be experienced in providing hands-on

educational experiences to PreK to Grade 8 students that dive into a variety of STEAM

(Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) concepts and offer student-led

activities and projects. Our mission is to enhance the student experience and foster an

environment of curiosity and exploration. All classes will be focused on STEAM education

themes. These will include, but are not limited to, engineering, biology, robotics, environmental,

and health sciences. From these highlighted topics, students will be given the chance to

illustrate their knowledge through week-long activities and projects. Successful candidates will

possess sound pedagogical skills, highly developed writing and organizational skills, experience

teaching art (preferred), a growth mindset, positive resolve, follow-through, and the desire to

build positive and meaningful relationships with students in a manner consistent with our

child-centered, integrated, and developmentally appropriate curriculum. A passion for diversity

and a multicultural approach to learning is essential. Candidates should have experience

working in a diverse setting and demonstrate a commitment to co-creating a racially just and

inclusive learning community.

Note: If you are invited to interview, we would like to see some samples or images of

student STEM projects.
