The Evergreen School

The Evergreen School serves 500–700 students from pre-school through eighth grade in Shoreline, Washington, a suburban community north of Seattle. As a secular, independent day school, it draws families who value academic rigor alongside creative and social-emotional growth. The curriculum emphasizes inquiry-based learning across its three divisions: elementary, middle school, and early childhood.

What sets teaching here apart is how deeply language programs run through the entire school. Mandarin Chinese, French, and Spanish are not add-ons—they integrate into core academics and cross-curricular work. Faculty collaborate across disciplines to weave language and content instruction together, which means a math or science teacher may work alongside a language specialist on the same unit.

The student body reflects intentional diversity across socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Teachers work with highly capable learners from many communities, which shapes classroom dynamics daily. This mix demands cultural awareness and adaptability—skills the school actively looks for in candidates.

Day school employment offers clear boundaries: work happens during school hours, and evenings and weekends remain yours. For educators in the Seattle area seeking that rhythm, combined with a school where language and global perspective are central to mission rather than afterthoughts, the fit can be strong.

Staffing needs include elementary classroom teachers, middle school subject specialists, language instructors, and roles in administration, admissions, and student services. Recruitment runs year-round, with peak hiring in spring and early summer before the fall term begins.
