Tower Hill School

Tower Hill School is an independent, non-sectarian day school in Wilmington, Delaware. It enrolls between 700 and 1,000 students from preschool through twelfth grade on one connected campus. Families come from across northern Delaware, the Brandywine Valley, and nearby parts of Pennsylvania.

The academic program is unusually broad for a day school of this size. Language offerings include Mandarin Chinese, French, Spanish, and Latin. That kind of range points to deep humanities staffing and steady demand for language faculty. The school's mission centers on inquiry, creativity, teamwork, and physical well-being. In practice, that means hiring across classrooms, the arts, and athletics rather than a single academic track.

Because Tower Hill runs all three divisions on one site, faculty often see students grow over many years. Lower school teachers know who their students will become in the upper school. That long view shapes the teaching culture and tends to support longer tenures than at schools with split campuses.

The financial picture is steady. Tower Hill School holds roughly $99 million in net assets against about $40 million in annual revenue, with fundraising up almost one percent year over year. That stability matters when you weigh salary, retirement contributions, and health benefits over a full career. Wilmington's cost of living also runs well below Philadelphia or the DC corridor, so a mid-Atlantic salary stretches further here.

Open roles span faculty in all three divisions, coaches, arts staff, and periodic administrative and advancement positions.
