About Tilton School
Tilton School, a hidden gem of an independent coeducational boarding & day school in the Lakes Region of central New Hampshire, serves over 200 students of all genders in grades 9-12/PG, from over 20 states and 15 countries, with 75% boarding and 25% day students. We are located in the historic town of Tilton, just across the Winnipesaukee River, 90 minutes from Boston and 15 minutes to the bustling capital city of Concord, New Hampshire. The Lakes Region is one of the preeminent four-season vacation destinations on the Eastern seaboard, easily accessed by nearby interstate highways and Manchester (NH) Airport, only 30 minutes to the south.
Embracing the future since its founding in 1845, the school has been guided by its mission for over 175 years. The mission is paramount in all that is done at the school and is as follows:
Tilton School challenges students to navigate a world driven by diversity and change. Through the quality of human relationships, Tilton School’s community cultivates in its students the curiosity, the skills, the knowledge and understanding, the character, and the integrity requisite for the passionate pursuit of lifelong success and service.
Summary
At Tilton School, we are a community in pursuit of knowing, supporting, and challenging each other as we learn to do hard things well. Our faculty design learning experiences that build the essential skills and sensibilities our students will need to be life-ready, at college and beyond. As such, we seek a compelling and passionate educator to teach four-to-five sections of Spanish language at various levels and possibly other humanities-related courses in our curriculum. Flexibility and experience to teach across two or more domains in the humanities is preferred, but not a requirement for consideration. As a residential school, Tilton considers the work of faculty broadly, and we engage with students both during and beyond the academic day. Faculty at Tilton can expect to contribute two seasons in the co-curricular and/or athletic program, serve as a student advisor, and to be responsible for weekly evening and monthly weekend supervisory duties. This position can include housing.??
