At Children’s Day School, we know that great teachers are the heart and soul of a great school. In fact, not surprisingly, research shows that the most important factor in student achievement is the quality of the teacher.
Therefore we are seeking talent. Founded as a preschool in 1983 and established as a non-profit preschool through eighth grade independent school in 1996, we own one of the most magical school sites in San Francisco filled with sheep, chickens, big trees, a large garden and happy people. Our site is ideal for our mission of educating children and preparing them to be leaders in a complex and increasingly changing world.
We are a young independent school, and as we grow, it's an exciting time to be part of the CDS educational team! Our diverse faculty comes from varied backgrounds and life experiences, but they all share a passion for learning, a collaborative spirit, a deep commitment to educational excellence and the conviction that happy kids make better learners. We offer competitive salaries and excellent benefits and, importantly, a uniquely accepting school culture where everybody feels safe to be themselves and where the uniqueness of each person is valued. CDS is a racially and ethnically diverse community and we seek the same in our faculty and staff.
If you are a talented educator who is inspired by the thought of being part of a young, rapidly-growing school and who has the leadership ability to work with students who have a strong internal motivation for learning and a high sense of social responsibility, we invite you to explore our job openings. Interested candidates for teaching and administrative positions may apply at any time, even if there are no positions currently open.
