Aylett Country Day School

Aylett Country Day School is a day school in Millers Tavern, Virginia, serving 101 to 200 students without religious affiliation. Located in the central Piedmont region, the school operates with stable finances and a clear academic mission. At this enrollment size, every faculty hire matters. Every teacher is known by name.

The school's curriculum emphasizes academic excellence and innovation. Teachers design courses that match their expertise and student needs. In a day school of this size, you are not one of many—you shape the entire program in your subject area. That autonomy is rare. Faculty also lead clubs, coach sports, and serve on committees that steer school direction. Your voice carries weight in decisions about what students learn and how the school operates.

Day school teaching creates a different pace than boarding models. You teach, lead a sport or club if you choose, and then leave campus. No dormitory duties. No evening supervision. The boundary between work and home stays clear. Yet you remain deeply invested in student outcomes because you teach the same students year after year and know their families. That combination—real relationships without the live-in commitment—attracts many independent school teachers.

Aylett Country Day School hires faculty, coaches, and support staff throughout the year. Most positions open before the academic year begins. The school website lists current openings in teaching, athletics, and student services roles. Candidates should check the school's careers page for details on compensation, health benefits, and retirement contributions specific to each role.

For teachers seeking a Virginia independent day school where enrollment under 200 means genuine influence and strong collegial relationships, Aylett offers meaningful work in a financially stable community.
