Physics Teacher

The Williams School seeks a full-time science teacher beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year. The ideal candidate will have the ability to teach physics at college prep, honors, and advanced levels. In addition, the candidate would have the ability to teach an elective exploring contemporary topics in science or chemistry at the college prep level. Applicants must be enthusiastic, energetic, and willing to teach as a member of a team in conjunction with other department members. The position requires skill in fostering active and interactive learning to engage students fully in science exploration, laboratory experiments, content and skills acquisition, as well as experience in the use of technology to enhance learning. The position also serves as a student advisor and participates fully in the life of the school. Previous experience teaching in a school setting and a major in Physics is required; experience in an independent school preferred.

In the 2022-2023 academic year, two distinct opportunities began for students to take their learning to a higher level of engagement with greater academic maturity. Four certificate programs: Environmental Sustainability, Global Perspectives, Humanities, and STEM were introduced for students to engage in over the course of their sophomore through senior years. Students complete a research and/or professional exploration component and present their certificate work to a committee. In addition, the College Acceleration Program offers juniors and seniors a full semester of college courses and corresponding credits. Over the course of their junior and senior years, students will take courses at Williams plus one course per semester at Connecticut College. By graduation, students successfully completing the program will gain a transcript from Connecticut College alongside their Williams diploma.

The Williams School, located on the Connecticut College campus in New London, Connecticut, and founded in 1891, is an independent, college-preparatory day school for grades 6-12, serving 190 students with an average class size of 12.
