New Garden Friends School

New Garden Friends School enrolls about 250 students across pre-K through grade 12 in Greensboro, North Carolina. As a day school, faculty maintain clear boundaries between work and home life—no residential commitments, no dorm duty. The school's Quaker heritage shapes its approach to decision-making and how it develops each student's particular strengths rather than ranking them by standardized metrics.

Teaching here rests on genuine shared governance. Faculty participate in real decisions about curriculum, hiring, and policy—not token committees. That collaboration extends to the classroom through integrated learning and Spanish instruction across divisions. Language weaves through multiple subject areas, not isolated in a single period. This governance structure means your voice shapes school direction, and departures are visible in a 250-student community.

The financial position supports long-term stability. Strong fundraising growth and solid net assets mean the school invests in programs and professional development. Compensation packages for teaching roles include salary, health benefits, and retirement contributions. In Greensboro's moderate cost-of-living environment, that translates to real purchasing power compared to coastal independent schools.

New Garden Friends School hires for elementary and secondary classroom teaching, plus administrative and support staff positions. The school seeks educators whose values align with Quaker principles—integrity, community, service, and simplicity—because daily institutional culture reinforces that mission. Day-school faculty in independent school jobs here avoid commute burnout while working at a mission-driven institution where your pedagogy and judgment matter.
