Foxcroft Academy

Foxcroft Academy is an independent boarding and day high school in Dover Foxcroft, Maine, serving around 400 students in grades 9 through 12. Founded in 1823, the school educates high schoolers without religious affiliation and emphasizes the principle that knowledge is power. Its location in rural Maine draws families seeking college prep education and a close-knit community feel.

Faculty at Foxcroft Academy teach English, mathematics, sciences, humanities, and arts. The school also runs language programs in Spanish, German, Latin, and English as an Alternative Language. What sets Foxcroft apart is its boarding and day model. Some teachers live on campus, participate in dorm life, and coach sports. Others commute from the region and focus mainly on classroom teaching. This structure means the school hires educators at all career stages—early-career teachers seeking residential immersion and experienced faculty who prefer teaching-centered roles with flexible schedules.

Residential faculty join a smaller community. They mentor students in dormitories, lead activities, and often coach. Day faculty shape the classroom curriculum and departmental culture without evening and weekend residential duties. Both tracks are valued equally. The school's financial strength—over $15 million in net assets—supports classroom resources and professional development even in a rural Maine setting where funding can be tight.

Foxcroft Academy hires for teaching positions in core academic subjects and languages, coaching roles, and administrative posts in advancement and student support. The school seeks candidates ready to commit to a small learning community where each hire strengthens culture and relationships.
