Virginia Episcopal School

Virginia Episcopal School is a boarding and day high school in Lynchburg, Virginia, serving about 250 students in grades 9 through 12. The campus sits in the Blue Ridge foothills, and the school's Episcopal roots shape a mission it calls "Toward Full Stature" — academic, ethical, spiritual, and personal growth treated as parallel goals.

Teaching here carries a residential rhythm. Most faculty members teach, advise, and take on coaching or dorm duties, which means your week bends around student life rather than ending at the last bell. Class sizes stay small, so teachers have real room to shape syllabi and follow students across all four years. The boarding mix also pulls students from many states and countries, which shows up in class discussions.

Language instruction includes French, Latin, and Spanish. Departments hire across English, math, sciences, history, arts, and athletics. Residential life, admission, advancement, and operations roles open periodically. Most faculty searches run from late winter into spring, ahead of the August start.

Compensation at Virginia Episcopal School tracks peer Virginia independent schools, and residential faculty roles typically include campus housing and academic-year meals. That package matters in Lynchburg, where the cost of living runs below the Virginia average, so a teaching salary stretches further than it would in Northern Virginia or the Richmond suburbs.

With net assets near $38 million and steady enrollment, Virginia Episcopal School offers a stable home for educators who want an immersive boarding job without the scale — or commute — of a larger campus.
