Metairie Park Country Day School

Metairie Park Country Day School, founded in 1929, enrolls between 700 and 1,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 in Metairie, Louisiana, just outside New Orleans. The independent, coeducational school has no religious affiliation and draws families who value advanced technology, rigorous academics, and foreign language instruction in French and Spanish.

What makes teaching here different? Technology is embedded in daily lessons, not bolted on. Teachers collaborate across grade levels to design curriculum that uses modern tools as a natural part of how students learn. You will spend time on professional development and have access to current instructional resources. This is active work—constantly asking what students need and testing better approaches to reach them.

Metairie Park Country Day School is a day school, which shapes the job itself. You teach your classes, coach or sponsor activities, and go home. You keep evenings and weekends for your own life. Over time, you build strong ties with students and families. You see kids grow across years. Many educators find this rhythm sustainable in a way residential schools are not.

The school maintains healthy financial reserves and stable enrollment. That stability matters for your job security and the school's ability to invest in classrooms. Metairie Park Country Day School hires year-round for faculty in mathematics, sciences, English, humanities, world languages, arts, and technology. Administrative and support roles open as needs shift. For teachers drawn to independent school jobs in Louisiana with a commitment to multilingual, technology-integrated instruction, this school offers long-term stability and a working culture centered on instructional growth.
