Sabot School

Sabot School is a day school in Richmond, Virginia, serving about 250 students from pre-K through eighth grade. The school has no religious affiliation and builds its curriculum around inquiry and empathy—values that shape classroom practice and hiring decisions alike. Located in the Richmond region, Sabot draws educators who want intentional, student-centered pedagogy.

Teaching here centers on resilient learners who grow as their authentic selves. Faculty design lessons where student questions guide instruction. Teachers adjust their teaching to match how each child learns best. This work requires reflection and flexibility, but it places teachers at the heart of curriculum design rather than on its margins.

Spanish runs across all grade levels, creating opportunities for language specialists and classroom teachers to build units together. Rather than isolating language study, Sabot weaves it into broader inquiry projects. Educators who see language learning as connected to meaning-making find real collaboration here.

Sabot School hires for elementary and middle school classroom positions, Spanish specialist roles, arts teachers, and support staff. Because the school remains relatively small at 250 students, faculty shape curriculum decisions directly. Hiring happens as enrollment grows and positions open mid-year or ahead of the academic year.

For teachers drawn to inquiry-based work and wanting to operate at human scale where voices matter, Sabot offers a distinct fit. You'll collaborate closely with colleagues and families to build the school's learning approach. This Richmond day school suits educators ready to teach beyond textbooks and standardized scope-and-sequence.
