Grade 5 Humanities

Mar 15 2026

Maret is looking for an inspiring and engaging fifth grade Humanities teacher beginning in August 2026. Candidates should be lifelong learners who reflect the school's mission and core values, have experience differentiating instructional strategies, possess strong communication and organization skills, and exhibit a facility and nimbleness with technology. The position is supervised by the chair of the Humanities Department and includes teaching fifth grade History and English, serving as a fifth-grade advisor to a group of students, partnering with other faculty to plan interdisciplinary curricular and co-curricular experiences, and fulfilling one or more community responsibilities.

Candidates must demonstrate a commitment to and passion for equity, inclusion, and belonging across all facets of their work.

The Successful Candidate Will:

Have experience teaching Early North American and Colonial History at the middle school level; experience teaching interdisciplinary Humanities is a plus;
Demonstrate a deep understanding of how to cultivate inclusive classroom environments that promote intellectual risk-taking
Demonstrate a deep understanding of how to design student learning experiences that lead to long-term understanding;
Have strong classroom management skills;
Have prior experience teaching different forms of writing, facilitating student discussions, designing authentic assessments, and providing students with effective feedback;
Display enthusiasm for working with middle school students;
Demonstrate ongoing commitment to professional development and collaboration with colleagues;
Demonstrate an eagerness to take students off campus for experiences and field trips;
Have a minimum of three years teaching experience;
Have a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, master’s degree preferred.

Competitive salary and benefits. Salary range is $71,000–$122,000, depending on years of teaching experience and qualifications.

Maret’s dynamic community and campus in the midst of Washington, DC, create a unique learning environment for students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Expert teachers inspire students to think both creatively and analytically, seek out multiple perspectives, work hard, and make time for joy as they tackle our challenging curriculum and explore artistic and athletic pursuits. The school’s mission, core values, and educational philosophy ground and guide our work.

Our community strives for equity and inclusion in every aspect of school life. Maret School stands firmly behind the principle that the admission of students, the employment of faculty, the operation of programs, and the governance of the school be open to all who are qualified regardless of race, ethnicity, color, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, or creed. We believe that this principle is both firmly grounded in the spirit of American democracy and in keeping with the civil responsibilities of an independent school.

All adults on campus are role models for our students and are considered part of the faculty. Every Maret employee must abide by our code of conduct.

To apply, please send a cover letter and résumé BY EMAIL ONLY to [email protected]. Unfortunately, we will not be able to respond personally to every applicant. You will hear from us only if your experience matches our current needs.
