The Hun School of Princeton

The Hun School of Princeton is a coeducational boarding and day school in Princeton, New Jersey. It serves students across middle school, high school, and post-graduate programs, with enrollment between 700 and 1,000. That span — from early secondary through post-graduate — is broader than most independent schools offer.

Teaching at Hun means working with students at genuinely different stages. A faculty member might teach a foundational middle school course one year and a post-graduate seminar the next. Teachers who want to build range across grade levels, rather than stay in one lane, tend to fit well here. Princeton's university-town setting also attracts candidates who want intellectually engaged colleagues and easy access to lectures and cultural events.

The school's language program is one of the widest at any New Jersey independent school — American Sign Language, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, French, Latin, Spanish, and English as an alternative language. That breadth creates steady demand for language faculty and reflects real institutional investment.

Boarding faculty typically take on residential duties alongside classroom teaching, which shapes both workload and compensation. Benefits for live-in staff often include housing and meals, making the effective value of a compensation package higher than a base salary alone suggests. With net assets near $53 million and annual revenue above $44 million as of 2023, Hun carries a stable financial base — candidates should confirm salary specifics directly with the school.

The Hun School of Princeton hires across academic disciplines, plus administrative and support staff roles. Its ranking trajectory has been on an upward path, which often signals active faculty recruitment and institutional confidence in growth.
