Massanutten Military Academy

Massanutten Military Academy is a non-profit, co-educational boarding and day school in Woodstock, Virginia, serving 101–200 students in grades 6 through post-graduate. The dual-track model—military and non-military programs running side by side—gives faculty a rare opportunity. Teachers work within an institution explicitly built around integrity, discipline, honor, and respect. That clarity of mission means less time debating values and more time teaching.

The residential setting shapes daily life. Whether you coach, mentor dormitory students, or supervise leadership labs, you know your students beyond the classroom. The school is small enough that faculty influence curriculum and culture directly. Students apply academic learning to real decisions about character and conduct. That integration is harder to achieve at larger schools.

The language program is unusually deep. Beyond Spanish and French, the school offers Mandarin Chinese, German, Portuguese, Russian, and English as an Alternative Language. Faculty with specialized language credentials find strong partnerships here and room to develop curriculum across multiple skill levels within a compact student body.

The school hires across academic disciplines—English, mathematics, sciences, and history—plus military science instructors, residential staff, and administrative roles. Hiring happens year-round, with the strongest pipeline before each fall term. On-campus housing and meals are standard for boarding staff, reducing the cost of living in the Shenandoah Valley region.

For educators seeking a boarding school role where structure and substance align, Massanutten Military Academy offers both the framework and the community to make it work.
