The Brearley School, an independent girls’ school serving over 700 students K-12,
welcomes candidates for one half-time position as Teacher of History in the Middle and
Upper Schools beginning August 2022.

Founded in 1884, the school is a center of intellectual exuberance, attracting students
from across and beyond New York City. Its mission has long combined outstanding
academics with an insistence on a larger purpose: we seek to prepare our students for
principled engagement in the world. In pursuit of this goal, we actively strive to build,
nurture and sustain a diverse faculty and student body. We are committed to
developing antiracist citizens for growth in an antiracist community, and we expect our
faculty, staff, students, parents, and trustees to pursue meaningful change through
deliberate and measurable actions.
We count on our faculty to create and maintain an atmosphere of honesty, generosity,
and respect for the thoughts, efforts, and feelings of others.
We educate our students within a network of teachers who know them for years and
recognize that children grow and flourish in their own time with the support of a
curriculum that responds to their intellectual needs. As the Brearley curriculum has
evolved through thoughtful, deliberate collaboration, we encourage all faculty to bring
fresh ideas and new insights that might enhance a strong, beloved foundation.

The ideal candidate will:

own abilities

history, Middle Eastern history, South Asian history, and education
● have a genuine passion for and command of their subject matter
