Church Farm School

Church Farm School is an Episcopal boarding and day school for boys in grades 9 through 12, set on a large campus in Exton, Pennsylvania, about thirty miles west of Philadelphia. Enrollment sits between 100 and 200 students. Class sections stay small, and most faculty know every boy they teach, coach, or supervise in the dorms.

The mission drives the daily work. The school prepares boys with academic ability and good character for college by making that education financially accessible to families who could not otherwise afford it. Teachers work with a diverse student body whose college outcomes often depend directly on their instruction and mentoring.

The finances are unusual for a school this size. Net assets reached roughly $189 million in 2023 against about $7.4 million in annual revenue. That ratio sits well above most independent schools in Pennsylvania and underwrites the tuition-access model. For faculty, the cushion tends to mean steadier pay, reliable retirement contributions, and less exposure to enrollment swings.

Faculty hiring covers English, math, science, history, and world languages, including French and Spanish. Because boarding is central, teaching jobs here often pair classroom work with dorm duty, weekend coverage, or a coaching season. Residential faculty receive on-campus housing and term-time meals, a real benefit in Chester County's tight housing market. Staff openings rotate through admission, advancement, and operations.

For teachers drawn to mission-focused work in a small boys' boarding program near Philadelphia, the school rewards a close look and a direct application.
