Full-Time
Description:
When passion and impact come together, an institution becomes more than a place to work. As many of our teachers and staff will tell you, Flint Hill is a place where they are challenged and inspired, and yet it still feels like home.
At Flint Hill, we believe in redefining what educational excellence looks like. Always curious, every day, we ask questions like, “Imagine if?” and “What’s possible?” And we encourage our students to do the same.
Our teachers’ expertise and commitment to innovative teaching are complemented by a personal approach that emphasizes respect and communication.
Flint Hill understands that adolescents long to be accepted while simultaneously wanting to be their own person. We pay special attention to these crucial years of exploration and self-discovery, offering broad and deep learning opportunities that both challenge and support students. Our Middle School, grades 7-8, believes there is no limit to students’ academic capacity—helping them uncover their passions and prepare them for a successful transition to high school and beyond.
The Middle School Learning Specialist supports the experience of Flint Hill students and faculty and embraces the mission, vision, and core values of the school, the Flint Hill Statement of Institutional Equity and Inclusion and the Portrait of the Flint Hill Student.
