Marshall School

Marshall School serves 350–500 students across elementary, middle, and high school in Duluth, Minnesota. It operates as a boarding and day school with no religious affiliation, meaning residential students live on campus while day students keep the school rooted in the local community. This dual model is rare among independent schools and attracts educators who want residential teaching without geographic isolation.

The school's mission—inspiring lifelong learners to embrace challenge and create positive change—shapes how faculty teach. Teachers design instruction around student agency and problem-based learning. French and Spanish language programs create natural cross-curricular opportunities. Some faculty live on campus, deepening mentorship beyond classroom walls into evening study halls and residential life.

Marshall School maintains solid financial footing with net assets of $10.8 million and steady fundraising growth. That stability translates to reasonable class sizes, curricular resources, and faculty investment. Unlike some independent schools in less wealthy regions, Marshall invests for longevity rather than enrollment chasing.

Hiring spans elementary teachers, middle school subject specialists, high school faculty, world language educators, and coaching positions. Administrative and student services roles open as program needs shift. Day-only and boarding-inclusive roles both exist, giving candidates real flexibility in how they structure their work.

For educators in the Upper Midwest considering independent school teaching, Marshall offers a smaller community with authentic campus life. The boarding-day model means you can teach full-time day classes, coach, and supervise dorms occasionally—or remain day faculty only.
