 Expected Start Date:
 
 August 2026
 
 
 La Lumiere School is excited to welcome applications for the position of English Teacher for the 2026-2027 school year. Our English teachers teach students to read critically, write clearly, speak effectively, and participate thoughtfully in a literary and intellectual community. Students encounter powerful texts from classic and contemporary writers, write often both to discover and to present discoveries, and engage in discussion, reflection, analysis, and public expression.
 
 
 For this position, we are seeking a teacher who is comfortable working with upper-level high school students in literature, writing, and speaking-centered courses. The likely teaching assignment will include Speech, AP English Literature and Composition, and junior/senior English seminar courses. Prior experience with theater, public speaking, performance, debate, or other forms of student presentation would be a plus.
 
 
 The ideal candidate will bring strong classroom presence, a love of literature and language, and the ability to help students develop confidence as readers, writers, speakers, and thinkers. We are especially interested in candidates who can create a discussion-rich classroom, guide students through close reading and analytical writing, and help students develop voice, poise, and clarity in both written and spoken expression.
