St. Edmund's Academy

St. Edmund's Academy is an independent day school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It serves 301 to 500 students across pre-school, elementary, and middle school grades. The school has no religious affiliation and builds its entire educational approach around six core values that appear in daily practice, not just on walls.

Teaching at St. Edmund's Academy means balancing two equally weighted goals. You teach your subject with rigor—whether that is math, language arts, science, or one of three languages: French, Latin, or Spanish. At the same time, you help shape how students treat each other and themselves. Character development sits alongside academic progress in how the school measures success. Faculty are expected to model the school's values and reinforce them in real time.

Day school teaching offers a different rhythm than boarding school work. You teach and mentor during the school day, then your evening and weekend belong to you. No dorm duty. No evening study halls. No weekend supervision. Families live nearby and manage their own time at home. That boundary appeals to teachers who want full energy during hours on campus but real separation when the day ends.

St. Edmund's Academy maintains financial stability with $15.8 million in net assets, which matters for long-term planning. The school hires classroom teachers, language specialists, and support staff. It operates a day schedule that respects personal time while asking for committed, values-driven teaching during school hours.

For educators who want teaching jobs where academics and character carry equal weight, and where the position itself preserves work-life balance, St. Edmund's Academy in Pittsburgh warrants serious attention.
