Flex Teacher

The San Francisco Schoolhouse is conducting a search for a highly motivated, enthusiastic and collaborative flex teacher to join our new and growing school community.

Do you have the leadership skills to work with students who love to learn, and who have a high sense of social responsibility?

The Schoolhouse is a growing, independent, K-8 school located in the Richmond District of San Francisco. The School’s intentionally small size, experienced and passionate teachers, experiential curriculum, and active parent participation model provide a unique opportunity for families seeking a community-minded progressive education that challenges and supports their child. Founded in 2011 by a small and dedicated group of teachers and parents and two students, the Schoolhouse now enrolls 60 students.

Teachers at the Schoolhouse lead mixed-grade classes. Currently the school is configured with two Kindergarten/1st grade classes, two 2nd/3rd grade classes, and two classes with a combination of 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th grade students. As we grow, middle school will be a 6th/7th/8th mixed-grade class.
