St. Stephen's Episcopal Day School

St. Stephen's Episcopal Day School enrolls 300–500 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade across its Coconut Grove campus, a leafy neighborhood south of Miami. The school's Episcopal mission centers on the belief that each child is created in God's image. That foundation shapes how teachers approach both academics and character in daily classroom work.

Teaching here means working in a values-centered environment. Faculty integrate faith perspective into curriculum without requiring that teachers hold specific beliefs themselves. The school supports Spanish instruction through the elementary grades, so classroom teachers often collaborate with language specialists. This bilingual focus is embedded early, which appeals to educators committed to global literacy from the start.

St. Stephen's is a day school, not a boarding program. That structure means faculty work school hours rather than living on campus. Teachers tend to have clearer boundaries between work and home life compared to residential independent schools. For educators in South Florida, this day school model offers access to a mission-driven community without residential demands.

The school hires year-round for early childhood classrooms, elementary teaching roles, Spanish instruction, and administrative or support positions. Spring typically brings the largest hiring push for fall openings. Coconut Grove's established character—quiet streets, mature trees, close to Miami's resources—attracts families and faculty seeking independent school life that feels accessible rather than isolated.

For teachers seeking a small-to-midsize day school with an Episcopal foundation and Spanish language integration, St. Stephen's Episcopal Day School offers an entry into South Florida independent education.
