North Cross School

North Cross School is an independent school in Roanoke, Virginia, serving about 600 students in grades PreK through 12. The school enrolls families from the Roanoke Valley, across the region, and internationally. Unlike many independent schools, North Cross operates on a boarding-day model—some students board, others commute—which shapes how faculty structure their time and interact with the community.

The K–12 span means teaching here spans early childhood through high school seniors. Faculty can grow expertise across multiple grade levels over a career. Language programs anchor the curriculum: Mandarin Chinese, French, Latin, and Spanish all employ dedicated teachers. These language faculty are not supplemental; they teach core courses and shape how hundreds of students encounter different cultures and communication systems.

What makes North Cross distinctive is the flexibility of the boarding-day setup. Some teachers lead afternoon seminars and evening programming with boarding students. Others focus on day classes and leave campus at three o'clock. You choose the arrangement that fits your life while remaining central to student growth. The school's financial health—with strong net assets and stable annual revenue—translates into real investment in faculty resources, competitive compensation, and campus facilities.

North Cross School hires year-round across academic departments, language instruction, residential life, and administrative roles. The school is growing and stable, which means openings reflect real expansion rather than turnover alone.

For teachers seeking a nonsectarian, college-prep job in Virginia where language learning and critical thinking drive the curriculum, North Cross offers a complete K–12 environment in the Blue Ridge region.
