The Kurt Hahn School needs teachers in all disciplines(ELA, Science, Math, Social Studies), Special Education, and ENL for 2023-2024 School Year. 

POSITIONS: 

  • Teaching positions may include but are not limited to the following secondary education licenses: English, Physical Science, Mathematics, History & SWD (7-12 license). 

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: 

  • Teaching candidates must have New York State and New York City certification in the appropriate content area with effective or highly effective ratings. 

  • All candidates should have strong interest in working at a small, community-driven school to implement project-based learning and performance-based assessments in collaboration with our partners NYC Outward Bound and the NY Performance Standards Consortium 

SCHOOL DESCRIPTION: 

The Kurt Hahn School is a member of the NY Performance Standards Consortium, a group of schools granted alternative graduation requirements. Instead of one-size-fits-all standardized assessments, Kurt Hahn students complete Performance Based Assessment Tasks, or PBATs, based on in-depth reading, research, problem-solving and writing in English, Social Studies, Math and Science. 

In addition, the Kurt Hahn School is also a NYC Outward Bound school. Like all NYC Outward Bound schools, we implement the nationally recognized EL Education model, which is rooted in Outward Bound. This model features rigorous learning experiences, both in and out of the classroom, and is built upon a culture of high achievement and mutual support. Our school uses hands-on learning that has real-world application. At our school, leadership, active citizenship, and character development go hand-in-hand with academic rigor and challenge. By valuing community and character alongside rigorous academics, we foster a school culture that instills in students the desire to take ownership over their own learning and care for their community. 

Every student at Kurt Hahn belongs to a Crew, a group of 15 students and a Crew Advisor who meet several times a week and stay together through graduation. Crew provides academic support, character development and opportunities for important self-reflection. 

We are currently looking for teachers and support staff who are committed to working closely with students and colleagues in a supportive and intellectually rigorous environment. In addition, teaching positions may require you to lead a Crew, an integral part of the Kurt Hahn community.
