Belmont Day School

Founded in 1927, Belmont Day School enrolls 300 to 500 students across pre-kindergarten through eighth grade in Belmont, Massachusetts, just west of Boston. The school has no religious affiliation and operates as a day school—students arrive each morning and depart each afternoon. That structure shapes everything about faculty life here.

Teachers work a traditional day schedule. You teach, collaborate with colleagues, and leave when students do. Evenings and weekends belong to you, not to dorm duty or residential advising. Class sizes remain small enough that you know every student's name and learning patterns. This model lets you build deep instructional relationships without the coordination burden that boarding schools require. The curriculum includes French, Latin, and Spanish language study. Arts, music, and physical education teachers hold core faculty status rather than specialist roles.

Financial stability underlies the program. Belmont Day School maintains substantial net assets and steady revenue, which funds competitive teaching salaries, ongoing professional development, and well-maintained facilities. Enrollment continues to grow. That growth signals both family confidence and the school's capacity to keep its commitments year after year.

The school hires year-round for elementary and middle school classroom teachers plus specialists in arts, music, and physical education. Administrative and support positions open periodically. The heaviest hiring window runs from spring through early summer as faculty plan for the next year.

For educators in the Boston area seeking day school faculty work, this position offers intellectual rigor paired with personal time. You engage deeply during instruction hours, then reclaim your evenings and weekends for family, further study, or Boston's cultural resources. That boundary—built into the day school model—is rare and valuable.
