Berkeley Hall School

Berkeley Hall School is a private day school in Los Angeles, California, serving roughly 200 to 300 students from age three through eighth grade. That pre-K-to-8 span on a single campus is uncommon. Faculty often teach the same families across six or more years — a continuity that grade-divided schools rarely offer.

Teaching at Berkeley Hall covers academics, athletics, arts, social development, leadership, and citizenship. That breadth means teachers carry a full role, not a narrow one. A humanities teacher might also coach or lead an advisory group. Candidates who want to be embedded in school life, rather than limited to one classroom, tend to fit well here.

Spanish runs across all grade levels, giving language faculty a genuine multi-year sequence instead of a program that restarts each fall. Teachers in the arts, sciences, and core subjects work within a curriculum designed to connect across divisions. Day school jobs in Los Angeles that offer this kind of cross-divisional integration are not common.

Berkeley Hall School reported about $11.6 million in revenue and nearly $21 million in net assets in 2023. For job seekers, that balance sheet matters. Schools with strong reserves are better positioned to maintain staffing levels, support competitive salaries and benefits, and invest in faculty development. FacStat's index rates the school as flourishing.

Open positions typically include classroom teachers, Spanish and arts faculty, athletics specialists, and administrative staff. Because enrollment is small, each hire carries real weight. Teachers who want influence over curriculum and culture — and stable employment in a Los Angeles day school — will find Berkeley Hall School worth a close look.
