Tabor Academy

Tabor Academy sits on Sippican Harbor in Marion, Massachusetts, about an hour south of Boston on Buzzards Bay. Known as the "School by the Sea," Tabor is a non-sectarian boarding and day school for grades 9 through 12. Enrollment falls between 500 and 700 students. The waterfront shapes daily life in ways few independent schools can match.

Faculty jobs at Tabor Academy usually blend three roles. Teachers lead classes, coach a sport or activity, and help run a dorm. The days are long, but teachers come to know students in several settings. New hires often build courses tied to the water, such as ocean ecology, navigation, and boatbuilding, alongside standard college-prep work in English, math, science, and the arts.

Language offerings include Mandarin, Spanish, French, Latin, and English as an Alternative Language. That range reflects boarders from across the country and abroad.

The school's finances look steady. Tabor reported about $53 million in revenue and $98 million in net assets in 2023. Fundraising rose roughly 17 percent year over year. For candidates, that backdrop supports competitive pay, on-campus housing for residential faculty, term-time meals, retirement contributions, and health benefits.

Most teaching openings post between January and May for the next school year. Staff roles in admission, advancement, residential life, athletics, and operations appear throughout the year. For teachers drawn to a coastal campus with a marine focus, Tabor Academy offers a setting that few high schools can rival.
