Maple Street School

Maple Street School is an independent day school in Manchester Center, Vermont, serving about 150 students in kindergarten through grade eight. The campus sits in the Green Mountains, a rural setting that attracts educators seeking small-school intimacy without boarding responsibilities. The school has no religious affiliation and maintains a secular, inclusive environment for families across the region.

Teaching at Maple Street combines classroom work with visible co-curricular roles. An English teacher may direct the spring play. A math instructor coaches soccer. This blend builds faculty culture where teachers shape curriculum and know every student by name. The school also runs a French language program—uncommon in rural Vermont independent schools—creating specialized teaching opportunities for language instructors and cross-curricular collaboration.

The school's size means your work stays day-based. You teach, coach, or lead arts programs during school hours and return home each evening. There are no dorm duties or weekend residential commitments. For educators with family obligations or those seeking work-life boundaries that boarding schools cannot offer, this model matters. Maple Street maintains stable finances and consistent fundraising, signals of institutional commitment to retaining experienced staff.

Maple Street School hires classroom teachers, French instructors, arts and music specialists, and support staff. Most openings emerge before each academic year. The school welcomes candidates with Vermont teaching experience and those relocating to the region. Unlike larger independent schools, hiring happens year-round when staffing needs arise.

For educators seeking a day teaching job in Vermont's independent school sector, Maple Street offers collaborative curriculum work, direct family partnerships, and the intimacy of a 150-student community—all without the residential model that defines many New England independents.
