Miss Edgar's & Miss Cramp's School

Miss Edgar's & Miss Cramp's School, founded in 1909 by educators Maud Edgar and Mary Cramp, is an independent day school in Westmount, Quebec. It serves roughly 250 students across elementary, middle, and high school. The founders believed education drives social progress—a principle that still shapes the school's approach to teaching and learning today.

What sets teaching here apart is genuine student agency. Rather than student voice as an occasional tool, the school treats it as structural. Teachers design lessons where students make real choices about learning paths and own their work. This requires educators comfortable with less traditional control, but it produces visible shifts in motivation. For teachers drawn to student-centered instruction, the school's institutional backing means your pedagogical choices align with institutional values.

Language instruction is integral. Miss Edgar's & Miss Cramp's School offers French immersion, Spanish, and French-language programs across divisions. Teachers with bilingual expertise or experience teaching content through immersion find active support and collaboration. This is a genuine asset for candidates with language facility.

The school hires for teaching roles across all divisions and occasionally for administrative and support positions. Day school structure means no boarding duties or residential requirements. Faculty engage with families and community without those demands. The Westmount location, minutes from Montreal, offers urban resources and a connected school community.

The school seeks educators who value student empowerment as working philosophy, not marketing language. If that vision aligns with your teaching approach, the institution provides real conditions to practice it.
