Hancock Day School

Hancock Day School is an independent day school in Savannah, Georgia. It enrolls 300 to 500 students in pre-K through eighth grade. The school is non-sectarian and sits in one of the Southeast's most culturally distinctive cities, known for oak-lined squares and established neighborhoods where families stay rooted.

What sets Hancock Day School apart for teaching staff is Spanish language integration. Rather than isolate language study, Spanish embeds into math, science, and social studies classes. Teachers collaborate across grade levels to build bilingual skills into how students learn core content. This demands flexibility from faculty but rewards it with interdisciplinary work that feels connected instead of fragmented.

Hancock Day School hires teachers for elementary and middle school classrooms. The school also seeks specialists in arts, physical education, and student support roles. Mid-year openings occur alongside the main hiring cycle ahead of each academic year.

Teaching at a day school means faculty go home each evening, unlike boarding school roles. You build relationships with students year after year as they move through divisions. You see how your sixth-grade math student arrives as a ninth grader elsewhere carrying skills and confidence you helped build. Savannah's cost of living also stretches a teacher's salary further than most Atlantic Coast independent school markets. Housing, groceries, and childcare cost less here, which translates to real purchasing power and quality of life.

For educators seeking day school faculty positions with Spanish language focus in the Southeast, Hancock Day School offers that continuity—students who return, families who stay, and a region where a teacher's salary translates into a solid standard of living.
