Collegiate School

Collegiate School is an all-boys day school in Manhattan, enrolling between 500 and 700 students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. It has no religious affiliation today, though its roots run deep in New York's educational history. The school describes itself as "old but not old-fashioned" — a phrase that signals respect for tradition without nostalgia. Stated values center on respect, kindness, and integrity.

Teaching at Collegiate means guiding boys at every stage, from early readers to seniors headed to selective colleges. The language program is unusually broad for a K–12 day school. Faculty teach Mandarin, French, Italian, and Latin. That range opens doors for language specialists who rarely find matching roles elsewhere in New York.

Compensation sits near the top of the Manhattan independent school market, as it must given the cost of living. The school's finances back that up. Filings from 2023 show net assets above $281 million, revenue near $66 million, and fundraising growth above 30 percent year over year. For faculty, that translates into health coverage, retirement contributions, tuition remission where applicable, and funded professional development.

As a day school, Collegiate asks less of faculty after 6 p.m. than a boarding school would. In exchange, teachers commit to advising, coaching, or club leadership during the school day and just after.

Collegiate hires teaching faculty across the lower, middle, and upper divisions, plus coaches, arts staff, and roles in admissions, advancement, and operations. Most academic searches open in late winter. Apply early.
