Come teach physics with us!

You teach physics well because you care deeply about students, think hard about how people learn, and enjoy creating an inspirational classroom environment.

The Jewish Community High School of the Bay needs an amazing physics teacher like you for the 2024-2025 school year. This position includes three sections of 9th grade Conceptual Physics and one section of AP Physics C: Mechanics. Future school years could include additional lab science, computer science, and/or math classes based on interest and past experience of the candidate. 

When you join our innovative math and science department you will:

  • Teach four classes of students grappling with physics
  • Have time during the school day to prepare great lessons and give students the individual help they need
  • Be directly involved creating and maintaining a welcoming, equitable, and inclusive environment
  • Be supported by an engaged Dean,  Learning Specialists, and School Counselor to help you focus on your teaching
  • Work alongside colleagues who will both push you to be a better teacher and welcome your help in improving their teaching
  • Work with supportive administrators who encourage innovative teaching, expect professional growth, and embrace research based pedagogy
  • Support students and the JCHS community by engaging in life outside the classroom through activities such as club advising, student mentoring and attending school events 

As a pluralistic Jewish high school, JCHS students represent the diversity of Jewish practice and identity in the Bay Area. Faculty commitment to the mission of the school is essential, but religious affiliation is not a factor in hiring. We believe our students learn best from a diverse faculty and extended professional community and welcome people of any race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation and marital status to come work with our students.

If this sounds like a community of learners you would like to join, email a cover letter and resume as one PDF document to:  jobs@jchsofthebay.org
