Chadwick School

Chadwick School enrolls roughly 850 students across elementary, middle, and high school on the Palos Verdes Peninsula near Los Angeles. The school is secular and draws families from across the greater Southern California region. Its curriculum emphasizes global citizenship and cross-cultural learning—principles that shape how faculty collaborate and teach.

Language instruction is woven through every grade level. Chadwick offers Mandarin Chinese, French, and Spanish, and classroom teachers regularly coordinate with language faculty to reinforce vocabulary and cultural concepts within their own subjects. A history teacher might align a unit on trade with the language department; a math teacher might use data sets in Chinese. This integration means you're not working alone in your classroom but as part of a larger, intentional design.

The day school model carries real advantages for faculty. Unlike residential independent schools, Chadwick maintains clear boundaries between work and home. You teach and coach during school hours, then reclaim your evenings and weekends. The Palos Verdes campus has athletic fields and room to expand, yet stays within commute range of Los Angeles. Many educators thrive in this structure.

Chadwick School hires teachers and instructional staff year-round, with most openings appearing in late spring for the following fall. Classroom roles span all divisions; specialized positions in languages, arts, and athletics emerge throughout the year. Administrative and support staff postings run on a similar cycle.

For teachers drawn to language-forward curriculum and day school culture in Southern California, Chadwick offers a stable, collaborative environment where integration is built into daily practice.
