Suffield Academy

Suffield Academy is a coeducational boarding and day school in Suffield, Connecticut, serving roughly 300 to 500 students in grades 9 through 12, plus a post-graduate year. The campus sits in the Connecticut River Valley, a short drive from Hartford and Springfield. Students come from across Connecticut, the country, and abroad.

The academic program is secular and language-rich. Faculty teach Mandarin, French, and Spanish, along with English as an Alternative Language for international students. That mix drives steady hiring in world languages, ESL, and the core departments of English, math, science, and history.

Teaching at Suffield Academy is often a residential job. Many faculty live on campus, coach a sport, advise students, and take dorm duty alongside their classes. Day faculty also pitch in during evenings and weekends. The payoff is real. Adults sit at the center of student life, and new teachers get informal coaching from veterans down the hall.

The school's finances are sound. Suffield Academy reported net assets above $140 million and revenue near $37 million in 2023. That base supports competitive salaries, health and retirement benefits, professional development funds, and on-campus housing for residential staff. In the Hartford-area rental market, that housing piece matters.

Open roles span English, math, science, arts, world languages, and athletic coaching, plus jobs in admissions, advancement, student life, and operations. Most teaching searches run from late winter into spring. Staff and administrative jobs post year-round, and the post-graduate program creates added demand for mentors who can guide students through a second senior year.
