St. Johns Country Day School

St. Johns Country Day School enrolls 301 to 500 students in grades pre-K through 12 across its Orange Park, Florida campus. The school sits in the Jacksonville region and operates as a day school, which shapes how faculty experience their roles and their lives. Its mission stresses college preparation, artistic excellence, and competitive athletics within a culture built on three student outcomes: seeking solutions, accepting responsibility, and leading through collaboration.

Day school teaching differs fundamentally from boarding roles. Your classroom time runs during school hours. Coaching and arts involvement happen in the afternoon. Evenings and weekends belong to you. This rhythm suits educators with families or those who want clear boundaries between work and personal time. You still build deep relationships with students—class sizes stay small—but you do it without live-in responsibilities.

St. Johns Country Day School maintains strong financial health. The school generates over $10 million in annual revenue and holds net assets exceeding $9 million. That stability translates to reliable salaries and benefits. Non-denominational status also means the school hires from all backgrounds without affiliation constraints. Whether you teach math, English, science, or history, or coach football, soccer, or tennis, you join a faculty in a school built to last.

The school's French and Spanish language programs create teaching partnerships across departments. World language faculty collaborate with humanities and social studies teachers on cultural units. This integration gives language instruction real academic weight instead of isolation. It also means you're part of a deliberate curriculum, not freelancing.

St. Johns Country Day School hires year-round for faculty roles. Peak hiring occurs in late spring and summer as the academic calendar nears. For educators seeking day school employment in northeast Florida where stability and mission alignment matter, this school offers substantive, mission-driven work.
