Greene Street Friends School

Greene Street Friends School is an urban day school in Philadelphia serving roughly 250 students in Pre-K through eighth grade. The school operates under the care of Green Street Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, a Quaker heritage that shapes how the community approaches learning and relationships every day.

Teaching here means working where Quaker principles are structural, not decorative. The school holds high academic standards while keeping classes small—small enough that teachers know each student's strengths, struggles, and family context. Diversity is woven into hiring, curriculum, and conflict resolution. Students come from varied backgrounds in race, ethnicity, language, family structure, and economic circumstance. Teachers actively help children see and value those differences as sources of strength.

The Spanish program runs through the elementary grades, reflecting the school's commitment to multilingual literacy and cultural understanding. Faculty integrate language study into broader learning rather than isolating it as a subject. This approach shapes the kind of teacher Greene Street Friends seeks: someone comfortable with integrated curriculum and genuinely interested in how children learn across languages and cultures.

Greene Street Friends School hires for classroom teaching positions across Pre-K, elementary, and middle school grades, plus support roles in instruction and operations. Most hiring happens in late spring for the fall academic year, though openings arise year-round when staff depart.

Day school teaching here means deep roots in one community. You arrive in the morning knowing the same families will return year after year. You help shape not just curriculum but the school's culture through daily presence. For educators drawn to Quaker values, Philadelphia's diversity, and the continuity of day school work, this is meaningful ground.
