Academy of St. Joseph

Academy of St. Joseph is a Catholic day school in New York serving pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, with enrollment under 100 students. At this scale, faculty shape curriculum and school culture in direct, visible ways. Teachers know every child and parent, which means your work carries immediate, tangible impact on the community.

The curriculum integrates arts, sciences, and humanities with Catholic values. Spanish language instruction threads through the program from early grades. Teachers foster intellectual, spiritual, social, emotional, and physical development—a broad mandate that connects classroom work to the school's larger mission of building responsible citizens and effective leaders.

Teaching at Academy of St. Joseph extends beyond the classroom. Faculty lead chapel programs, advise student clubs, and organize community events. In a school this small, that extended work directly shapes daily life. You remain central to the school's intellectual and spiritual rhythm without the residential commitments of a boarding community.

The school's Catholic identity attracts educators who want faith integrated into their practice. Whether you teach math, English, arts, or language, you join colleagues committed to character development alongside academic rigor. Day school status means you return home each evening while maintaining real influence over culture.

Academy of St. Joseph hires for classroom teaching roles across grade levels and subject areas, plus support staff as needs arise. Small independent day schools offer lower student-teacher ratios, closer family relationships, and genuine influence on school direction. For teachers seeking mission-driven work in an intimate New York setting, the Academy offers a distinct alternative.
