Trevor Day School

Trevor Day School is an independent, coeducational day school in Manhattan. It serves students from Nursery through Grade 12, with enrollment between 700 and 1,000. The school is non-sectarian and draws families from across New York City. Two campuses split the divisions, so faculty work in a true K-12 community without a single crowded building.

Teaching at Trevor is inquiry-driven. Faculty design units around questions, not scripts, and often co-plan across grade levels. World language teachers build a long runway: Mandarin, French, and Spanish all run from the lower grades through Upper School. That K-12 pipeline is rare among NYC day schools and gives language faculty real room to shape curriculum.

Compensation reflects the Manhattan independent school market. In 2023, Trevor reported revenue near $47 million and net assets above $100 million, with fundraising up about 46 percent year over year. For candidates, that stability supports steady salary scales, health and retirement benefits in line with city peers, and working professional development budgets. Trevor is a day school, not boarding, so the full value of an offer sits in salary and benefits rather than housing.

Faculty openings at Trevor Day School span English, math, science, history, world languages, and the arts. The school also hires early childhood specialists, learning specialists, coaches, and staff in admissions, advancement, and operations. Most teaching searches post in late winter for the following academic year, with coaching and staff roles filling on a rolling basis.
