University School

University School is an all-boys day school in Hunting Valley, Ohio, serving roughly 700 to 1,000 boys from kindergarten through grade 12. The school runs two campuses in the eastern Cleveland suburbs: a lower campus for the youngest students and the Hunting Valley campus for grades 9 through 12. It has no religious affiliation, and its mission points faculty toward preparing boys to lead and serve.

What makes teaching here distinctive is the single-gender focus paired with a long developmental arc. Faculty design instruction around how boys learn at each age, and many teachers stay with the school for decades. The two-campus setup also means lower and middle school teachers work in a small, close-knit setting while upper school colleagues teach on a larger, more independent campus.

Language offerings run unusually deep for a K-12 school, with Mandarin, French, Italian, Latin, and Spanish all in the catalog. That breadth signals a department willing to staff less common tracks rather than defaulting to just French and Spanish.

The financial base is strong. With about $193 million in net assets and $55 million in annual revenue as of 2023, plus steady fundraising growth, the school can fund faculty salaries, professional development, and coaching stipends at levels competitive with national peer schools rather than local districts.

Hiring typically covers core academics, world languages, arts, athletic coaching, and experiential programs, plus admissions, advancement, and administrative roles. Most faculty searches open in late winter and spring.
