Holderness School

Holderness School is an Episcopal boarding and day school in Plymouth, New Hampshire, serving grades 9 through 12 with an enrollment in the 300 to 500 range. The campus sits in the foothills of the White Mountains, about two hours north of Boston. That setting shapes a weekly rhythm that braids academics, athletics, and the school's Outdoor Program into one schedule.

Faculty jobs at Holderness are residential by design. Most teachers hold a classroom load in English, math, science, history, world languages, or the arts. They also coach a sport or lead outdoor trips, and serve as advisors or dorm parents. The adult students see in chemistry often turns up on the ski hill or at dorm check-in that night.

Compensation reflects that full load. Holderness pays competitive independent school salaries for New Hampshire and adds retirement contributions, health benefits, term-time meals, and subsidized or on-campus housing for dorm faculty. In the Lakes Region rental market, that housing is a real offset. The 2023 financials show net assets above $130 million and revenue near $28 million, which points to a stable base behind the benefits package.

Holderness School hires teaching faculty, coaches, Outdoor Program leaders, admissions and advancement staff, and residential life roles. Faculty searches usually open in late winter for the next academic year. Coaching and staff postings appear year-round on the school's website.

For candidates drawn to mountain New Hampshire and a fully residential teaching role with an Episcopal tradition, Holderness School rewards a close look.
