Employment

Working at King 

At King, we seek to build an outstanding faculty and staff who love working with children, have passion for and expertise in their area subject matter, exhibit a growth mindset, embrace the multidimensional roles we each play, and prioritize the learning process for students, faculty, and staff.

Educational and Curricular Philosophy

King School teachers understand that true learning is nurtured through authentic and meaningful student-teacher partnerships. When students are known both as learners and as people by their teachers, students become better self-advocates and more responsible for their own emotional and academic well-being.  

Our teachers consistently incorporate student-centered best practices. We constantly seek ways to deepen our understanding of the dynamic relationship between the learning and teaching processes. When students have the chance to apply their learning in tangible ways, they are able to experience concepts more fully, synthesize disparate disciplines, and reach deeper understanding. Lower school students at King explore activities like role-play, visualizations, model building, and fun experiments. Hands-on learning for middle and upper school students includes fieldwork, collaboration to solve real community challenges, and other projects that bring knowledge to life.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging at King

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging are foundational to academic and professional excellence, and therefore is a core value at King. We think, learn, and work more deeply due to the many facets of diversity in our community, including but not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, age, ability, and learning style. We leverage cultural differences and intellectual diversity to create an inclusive and vibrant learning community, endeavoring for each person to feel seen, heard, valued, and respected. 

Faculty and Staff Support and Professional Growth 

King is a leader in investing in the professional growth and development of our faculty and staff.  King colleagues pursue continuous growth and learning to bring the latest thinking, fresh strategies, and new perspectives back to benefit their students, their colleagues, and the school.  Emboldened to innovate, faculty and staff model our institutional value of invention and reinvention. We support one another in a variety of ways to foster a growth mindset in professional development including:

  • Mentoring program for first–year faculty and staff
  • Directors of Teaching and Learning in every division, who lead and support teachers in efforts to engage in best practices
  • Detailed profiles for each student to inform lesson plan development
  • Generous support for faculty and staff professional growth and development opportunities both on and off campus
  • Financial support for graduate studies, summer travel grants, and a variety of workshop and conference experiences

Faculty and staff are encouraged to attend two PGD opportunities per year.
