Campbell Hall Faculty Description
Campbell Hall (K-12, all gender, college preparatory, Episcopal) is seeking faculty who are dedicated to the developmentally appropriate education of the whole child; who are interested in learning as well as teaching; who connect their responsibilities with the philosophy and purpose of the school; who teach to empower as well as to inform; who are comfortable with questions as well as with answers; who can work with direction, focus, humor and dignity within the complexities of a diverse school environment; and who will be dedicated to promoting and maintaining an inclusive school community.
In addition to their academic responsibilities, Campbell Hall faculty are involved in many aspects of school life: coaching interscholastic athletics, chaperoning experiential education trips, participating in community service activities, helping students produce school publications, overseeing student council, and leading a special interest club are just a few ways faculty can be more deeply involved in the Campbell Hall community.
Campbell Hall faculty pride themselves on becoming involved in many aspects of the school community. They are dedicated to the implementation of a rigorous college preparatory academic program and are equally devoted to the emotional and spiritual development of each student. The result is a community where students and adults are confident to learn and grow.

They work in unison with a lead classroom teacher to meet a wide range of academic and social developmental needs of young children. The associate teacher model gives teachers who are relatively new to teaching the opportunity to work with an experienced lead teacher on all aspects of classroom life. In turn, the lead teacher/associate teacher model allows Campbell Hall to provide a collaborative team teaching approach that provides for low student-teacher ratio, small-group instruction, and individualized attention.
