Proctor Academy

Proctor Academy is a coeducational boarding and day school for grades 9 through 12 in Andover, New Hampshire. Enrollment runs between 300 and 500 students on a wooded campus about two hours north of Boston. The school has no religious affiliation. Its identity comes instead from experiential learning and a long-standing commitment to students who learn in different ways.

Teaching at Proctor Academy looks different from a standard classroom job. Faculty teach core subjects, but many also lead off-campus programs — Mountain Classroom, ocean terms, and European study among them. Language offerings include Mandarin, French, Spanish, and immersion tracks. The integrated academic support program means most teachers work closely with learning specialists, so understanding varied learners is part of the daily craft, not a side skill.

Compensation at New England boarding schools of this size typically pairs salary with on-campus housing, term meals, and retirement contributions. Proctor's 2023 financials show about $34 million in revenue and $68 million in net assets, which points to a stable employer. For residential faculty, free housing in central New Hampshire can add real value that a base salary alone does not show.

Proctor Academy hires across English, math, science, history, world languages, learning support, the arts, athletics, admissions, and advancement. Residential roles usually combine teaching with coaching and dorm duty. Most faculty searches open in late fall and run through spring for the following academic year.

For teachers who want small classes, mountains and rivers nearby, and a school built around how students actually learn, Proctor is worth a close look.
