Catholic Memorial School

Catholic Memorial School is a college preparatory day school for boys in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. The school serves 501 to 700 students in grades 6 through 12. Founded in the spirit of Blessed Edmund Rice, it follows the Christian Brothers tradition of active learning and character formation. Unlike boarding schools, Catholic Memorial is a commuter community where faculty teach during the day and return home each evening.

The school hires teachers for mathematics, sciences, English, and languages including Mandarin, French, Latin, and Spanish. Positions also cover arts and athletics. Many teaching roles include advising or campus ministry work during the school day. The core philosophy is clear: boys succeed through different strengths and pathways. Faculty shape this belief into daily practice—in how they teach, mentor, and advise students—all within regular school hours.

A day school structure offers what boarding schools cannot: a clear boundary between work and personal life. You teach, coach, and advise during scheduled hours, then leave. The Catholic identity shapes your daily work through service leadership, Gospel values, and character formation. These principles inform curriculum and culture. The time boundary protects space for your own family and life outside school.

Benefits at independent schools like Catholic Memorial typically include health insurance, retirement contributions, and tuition assistance. Salaries are competitive with other Boston-area day schools. The school maintains stable financial footing with net assets of $2.8 million as of 2023.

For educators seeking a college prep environment rooted in faith and community service—without the live-in demands of boarding schools—Catholic Memorial offers a concrete alternative in the Boston region.
