Mount Saint Dominic Academy

Mount Saint Dominic Academy is a Catholic day school in Caldwell, New Jersey, enrolling between 200 and 300 high school students. The school's mission centers on two Dominican principles: Veritas, the pursuit of knowledge through study and inquiry, and Caritas, a commitment to love and social justice. These values shape how faculty teach, collaborate, and serve.

At Mount Saint Dominic Academy, the Four Pillars—study, mission, community, and prayer—define the teaching experience. Faculty design courses that weave intellectual content with contemplative practice and hands-on service projects. Because the school is small, teachers know every student by name and teach in an environment where mission translates into lesson plans. Collaboration happens by design, not happenstance. Language faculty, for instance, integrate French and Spanish instruction with cultural study and global engagement. This integrated approach is uncommon in day schools across northern New Jersey.

Day school roles typically include classroom teaching, committee work, and modest coaching or advising duties—less all-consuming than boarding school "triple threat" assignments, but still part of a whole-school culture. Mount Saint Dominic Academy hires for English, mathematics, sciences, languages, humanities, and arts positions, plus counseling and administrative support. Compensation includes salary, health benefits, and retirement contributions. Most openings post before the fall term.

For educators drawn to Catholic education where mission drives practice, or to teachers wanting a close-knit school community without residential demands, Mount Saint Dominic Academy offers substantive work in a focused environment.
