About Manara School

Manara School started its first year of operation in the Fall of 2023, with its inaugural class of 2028. The school is expected to grow to 500 students.

The successful faculty member will likely teach a combination of courses including statistics (including AP Statistics), algebra, geometry, and computer science (such as AP Computer Science Principles and/or AP Computer Science A), depending on interest and background.

The successful candidate will report to the Dean of Academics and will also work in close collaboration with the Dean of Students with regard to their residential duties.
