Part-Time High School French Teacher (60%FTE) Beginning August 2024
The Sharon Academy High School is seeking a qualified, high school-level French teacher (60% FTE) interested in teaching an integrated, proficiency-based curriculum for the 2024-2025 school year.
The Sharon Academy (TSA) is a state-approved, independent day school. We are accredited by the State of Vermont and by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. We are members of the Coalition of Essential Schools, the Vermont Independent School Association, and the Independent Schools Association of Northern New England. Because we are an approved independent school, our tuition fees can be paid by any Vermont town that normally tuitions students to public schools.
It is the policy of The Sharon Academy not to discriminate on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, ancestry, national origin, creed, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital/civil union status, age, military/uniformed service or veteran’s status, disability, or other legally protected classification in the provision and administration of its educational programs, activities, services, and access provided to the public, in accordance with and to the limits of applicable requirements of state and federal laws. TSA complies with the American with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as well as other applicable state and federal laws with respect to accommodating individuals with disabilities.
Trust and respect are the foundation of our work with adolescents as we help them to negotiate the challenges of their teenage years—without those two essential ingredients, much of our work would be impossible. We work to know our students as individuals and seek to help meet their academic, social, and emotional needs. In order to know each student, we are committed to maintaining a small school community.
The staff at The Sharon Academy is composed of dedicated teachers who choose to work in a supportive atmosphere with small class sizes—where they are an integral influence on students’ lives. Teachers are committed to offering personalized instruction, maintaining small class sizes, performing authentic tasks, encouraging equitable student outcomes, following democratic governance practices, and partnering closely with their students and families, their colleagues, and the surrounding community. TSA prides itself on a significantly flattened hierarchy compared to most institutions. TSA faculty and staff are empowered to take ownership for the school’s running—and this shared ownership is often extended to students in significant and valuable ways.
