Chartwell School

Chartwell School is a K–12 day school in Seaside, California, on the Monterey Peninsula. It serves between 201 and 300 students in grades 1 through 12. Every student has a language-based learning difference, most often dyslexia. That focus shapes every faculty hire and every classroom.

Teaching at Chartwell is specialized work. Faculty use structured literacy, multisensory methods, and individual learning plans as a daily routine. Many teachers train in Orton-Gillingham or related approaches, and assistive technology is built into the classroom. The language program includes Spanish and American Sign Language. Because the school spans grades 1 through 12, teachers can follow students from early reading through college prep and self-advocacy.

The school is on solid financial footing. Chartwell reported about $13 million in revenue and $58 million in net assets in 2023, and fundraising grew roughly 23 percent year over year. For candidates, that stability tends to translate into competitive day-school salaries, standard independent school benefits such as health coverage and retirement contributions, and ongoing funding for training and materials.

Chartwell School hires faculty across elementary, middle, and high school grades. Common openings include classroom teachers, learning specialists, reading and speech-language support, and roles in admissions, development, and administration. Coaching and arts positions open from time to time as well.

For teachers drawn to specialized instruction and the California coast, Chartwell School offers a focused setting. Candidates can review current teaching jobs and staff openings on the school's website and apply directly there.
