The Fay School

The Fay School is a nonsectarian day school in Houston, Texas, serving 300 to 500 students from preschool through elementary grades. As a not-for-profit institution, the school maintains net assets exceeding $21 million and shows consistent fundraising growth. That financial stability means the school invests in competitive salaries and professional development rather than operating with year-to-year uncertainty.

Teaching here rests on a three-way partnership among educator, parent, and student. Unlike schools where families stay on the periphery, you collaborate with parents as active participants in their child's growth. You will communicate regularly about intellectual, physical, social, ethical, and artistic development. This model demands more conversation but creates stronger alignment between home and classroom learning.

The Fay School embeds Spanish language instruction across every grade level. Spanish specialists work alongside classroom teachers so language becomes part of daily core instruction, not a separate subject. For educators who value bilingual fluency in early childhood and elementary classrooms, this integrated approach sets the school apart from most Houston independents.

The school hires year-round for preschool and elementary classroom teachers, Spanish language specialists, and arts and physical education instructors. Support and administrative roles open as needed. Faculty positions offer the stability of a well-capitalized independent day school with strong parent engagement and a defined bilingual mission.
