Guided by our Quaker principles, Friends Academy educates our students to discover and develop the best of who they are and who they can become.

Belief Statement:

We achieve educational excellence by committing to the highest standards of learning and living. Our diverse and welcoming community is strengthened by our Quaker values, which empower our students to inquire, reflect, and engage in their classrooms, in their neighborhoods, and in the world.

A successful candidate must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

Position Summary:

Friends Academy seeks a creative, collaborative, and energetic Lower School Art Teacher to lead our Visual Arts curriculum for students from Pre-school (nursery/early learning) through 4th Grade.

The ideal candidate must possess a strong understanding of the developmental continuum from three years old to fourth grade and foster a joyful, inclusive art studio environment where young artists learn to express themselves through a wide variety of media—including tactile exploration, drawing, painting, printmaking, fiber arts, and ceramics.

Design activities that prioritize creative process over final product for the youngest learners, encouraging curiosity, experimentation, sensory discovery, and motor-skill development.
Maintain a clean, safe, and well-organized art studio and ceramics prep area. Ensure all materials, non-toxic glazes, and clays are age-safe and appropriately stored/handled according to school safety protocols.
Manage art supplies, maintain equipment, order inventory within budget constraints, and prepare materials for daily class activities.
Align classroom practices with Quaker values (simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, stewardship), nurturing empathy, reflection, and mutual respect.
Curate and display student artwork throughout the Lower School and organize regular student art showcases/exhibitions in the Art Gallery.
Participate actively in division and department meetings, professional development, and community events.

Education & Experience:

Minimum of three years of experience teaching visual arts to early childhood or elementary-aged children (Nursery School through 4th Grade).
Deep understanding of toddler, early childhood, and primary-grade child development, fine/gross motor skill milestones, and sensory learning.
Excellent classroom management skills rooted in positive, nurturing, and restorative practices.

Interested candidates should send a resume, with the below information to [email protected]

A statement of educational philosophy;
A list of three to five professional references, with contact information..
