We are considered by many families and teachers to represent an exciting new type of school that is ideal for those concerned about the area’s existing public school (inconsistent quality; driven by standardized test outcomes) and private school (elitism; unaffordable; lack of diversity; limited innovation) options.

 

The Croft School is built around the following core attributes:

• Rigor and Spark

• Student-Centeredness

• Balance

• Strong Relationships

• Outstanding Teachers, Collaborative Improvement

• A Diverse, Inclusive, Anti-Racist Community

 

Our program includes high-quality math, reading, and writing instruction, innovative project-based learning, age-appropriate opportunities for play and creative expression, frequent enrichment and Spanish courses,  and weekly nature explorations or community trips (field study).  Further, we seek to provide our families with an exceptional experience built around convenience, community, communication, and partnership.

All Croft teachers are empowered to design and deliver an outstanding student program in alignment with the school’s approaches to classroom climate, pedagogy, and personalization.  In the case of the music teacher, the individual who fills this role will have broad discretion in crafting a music education program which helps students develop a joy and love of music; exposes students to a wide array of musical activities, practices and knowledge; and helps students begin building important musical skills.

 

The ideal candidate will be committed to building deep relationships with her/his students and their families, as developing close-knit, trusting connections are at the heart of The Croft School.

Qualifications and Qualities

• 2+ years of early music education experience, ideally in early childhood/lower elementary school

• A contagious love for teaching, children, and nurturing students’ natural curiosity, instilling in them a lifelong passion for learning.

• An entrepreneurial spirit coupled with an ambitious work ethic, as well as a natural desire to go above and beyond to serve students and their families in both expected and unexpected ways.

• Outstanding communication and collaboration skills, inclusive of empathy for others, thoughtful listening, and enthusiasm for being part of The Croft Schools team-oriented environment.

• Ability to create a safe, joyous learning environment, inclusive of excellent classroom management strategies and skills

• Self-reflectiveness, humility, and an eagerness to continually improve one’s practice.

• A strong desire to remain in this role for 5+ years (note: this role will grow as the school expands).

• Strong ties to and/or a long-term commitment to the Boston area.

• A Bachelor’s Degree and current authorization to work in the United States is required.

Compensation
