About St. David's School
St. David's School is a non-covenant Christian school serving students from Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Our mission, rooted in 2 Peter 1:5, is to be an independent school of academic excellence that prepares young men and women for college and life by challenging them to excel in the vital areas of Christian faith, virtue, and knowledge.
Our faculty and staff are practicing Christians who teach, coach, and mentor from a thoroughly Christian framework — one that plumbs the depths of wisdom, history, culture, and the wonders of the physical world to develop students in heart, soul, mind, and strength. Though not a church, we are a worshipping community in thought, word, and deed, doing our imperfect best to follow the Way of Christ in hospitality and humility. We welcome students and families of all backgrounds and faith traditions who share an affinity for our mission and core values.
Position Overview
St. David's School seeks a skilled, passionate, and mission-aligned educator to join our faculty as a Part-Time French Teacher. This position carries responsibility for 2–3 sections spanning the Middle School (Grades 6–8) and Upper School (Grades 9–12), with instruction tailored to meet students where they are — building proficiency, fostering appreciation for Hispanic and Latin American cultures, and cultivating confident communicators. The successful candidate will be a collaborative colleague who brings subject-matter expertise and is energized by the opportunity to influence young people through God-honoring relationship.

Integrate cultural study — literature, history, music, current events — as an essential component of language learning, not a supplement to it.

Participate actively in divisional meetings, faculty for professional development, and the broader life of the school community.
-
Communicate proactively with students, families, and colleagues regarding academic progress, concerns, and opportunities for growth.
-
