Shore Country Day School is an independent day school in Beverly, Massachusetts, on the North Shore about 25 miles northeast of Boston. It enrolls roughly 250 students from pre-school through grade 8. Because the school ends at eighth grade, faculty teach children, not teenagers, and stay focused on the years when reading, writing, and curiosity take root.

Teachers here follow students across many years. A child may arrive in pre-school and leave as an eighth grader preparing for secondary school admissions. That arc changes how faculty plan. Shore Country Day School offers French, Latin, and Spanish, so language teachers reach students long before most peers do.

Because the school has no upper division, middle school faculty are the senior academic voices in their subjects. That carries real weight. Department decisions, curriculum maps, and assessment choices sit with the people in the classroom rather than a high school chair.

The school's finances are steady. Recent filings show about $16.4 million in revenue, $43 million in net assets, and fundraising up about 15 percent year over year. For faculty, that context usually means salaries in line with strong North Shore independent day schools, health coverage, retirement contributions, professional development funds, and tuition remission for faculty children.

Typical openings include lower and middle school classroom teachers, French, Latin, and Spanish faculty, art, music, and PE specialists, plus periodic roles in admissions, advancement, and operations. Most faculty searches run from winter into spring. Applications are submitted through the school's website.
