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.

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:

Excellent classroom management skills rooted in positive, nurturing, and restorative practices.
