Houston Academy

Houston Academy is a day school in Dothan, Alabama, serving roughly 850 students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. The school operates without religious affiliation, offering a secular independent option in southeast Alabama. Language instruction in French, Latin, and Spanish runs through all divisions, so students build multilingual skills from early childhood onward.

Teaching here means working in a structured, academically focused environment. Faculty support both intellectual growth and social-emotional development. The school organizes by division—elementary, middle, and high school—but teachers across divisions coordinate closely on student transitions. Because you teach in a day school, you leave campus at day's end. That boundary between work and home life is real and valuable. At the same time, enrollment of 850 keeps the community small enough that most faculty know most students by name.

Houston Academy hires year-round for elementary classroom teachers, mathematics and science instructors, humanities teachers, and language faculty. Administrative and support staff positions open periodically. Independent school positions in Alabama typically include health insurance, retirement contributions, and professional development funding. Exact salary ranges depend on position and experience level.

For educators seeking a day school teaching job in the Southeast with strong academics and a clear daily rhythm, Houston Academy offers stable employment. The school's focus on both intellectual development and character growth means your classroom work has real visibility and impact across the whole community.
