North Yarmouth Academy

North Yarmouth Academy is an independent, coeducational college preparatory school in Yarmouth, Maine, serving 301 to 500 students from pre-K through post-graduate grades. The school operates on a day and boarding model without religious affiliation. It builds its program on integrity, character, and intellectual development—offering a secular alternative for families seeking structured academics in southern Maine.

Teaching here means joining a faculty where day and boarding roles carry genuine parity. Both paths lead to tenure and advancement. Residential staff live on campus and supervise evening activities. Day faculty teach core classes and leave at day's end. This equality is unusual; many boarding schools favor residential teachers in hiring and promotion. North Yarmouth Academy actively recruits educators who prefer commuting or living nearby. Class sizes stay small enough that you will know your students well.

The curriculum emphasizes problem-solving, writing sophistication, and artistic expression. The school hires across English, mathematics, sciences, and humanities. French, Latin, and Spanish teachers are in demand. Coaching and advising are available but not mandatory for day faculty—a real difference from traditional residential models.

Financial stability matters. Net assets exceed $16 million, and the school invests in facilities and competitive pay. Benefits include health insurance, retirement contributions, and professional development funds. Boarding faculty receive housing and meals on campus. Day teachers gain flexibility without residential demands.

The Academy hires year-round for faculty and administrative roles. For educators seeking teaching jobs in Maine with real choice in lifestyle and workload, this school offers a genuine alternative.
