Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall School

Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall School is a college preparatory day and boarding school in Waltham, Massachusetts, enrolling 101 to 200 students in grades 6 through 12 plus a postgraduate year. The school has no religious affiliation. It is built around a simple premise: students learn in different ways, and teaching should meet them where they are.

That learning-difference focus shapes the daily work. Faculty teach mixed-ability classes, adjust pacing for individual students, and design instruction around how learners actually absorb material. This is differentiated teaching as practice, not policy. It demands flexibility and close attention, but it also means you teach fewer than 100 students per year—rare in independent schools.

The residential structure offers unusual choice. Day students form the core enrollment. Boarding students live on campus. Faculty decide their own role. Some teach and advise day students only. Others live on campus, mentor boarding residents, and deepen relationships outside the classroom. That balance lets teachers commit to boarding life or keep clearer work-home boundaries. Few schools offer that flexibility.

Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall School supports language study in Mandarin Chinese, French, and Spanish. The school's strong financial footing—stable assets and consistent revenue—means hiring is deliberate and professional development funding stays reliable.

The school hires faculty across core academic disciplines, world languages, and student support. For teachers seeking a smaller school where individual students remain visible and differentiation is real work, not rhetoric, this is a meaningful position in the Boston area.
