Position Title: Computer Science Teacher & Program Builder
Start Date: August 2026
Contract type: Yearly; 10-month
School Type: Boarding
Bring your passion for technology and imagination to St. Mark's and help us build something entirely new.
Why Join Us
At St. Mark's, we believe technology and creativity go hand in hand. We're seeking a computer science educator, or an innovative professional excited to become one, who is eager to design and launch a forward-thinking Computer Science program from the ground up. If you're passionate about coding, robotics, engineering, or digital innovation, this is a rare opportunity to shape a department, spark student curiosity, and create something truly special.
Teaching here is more than what happens in the classroom. As a faculty member, you'll also serve as an advisor, coach, and mentor, helping students navigate school, discover new talents, and grow into their best selves. Our community thrives on collaboration and connection, and we're looking for educators and innovators who are excited to engage fully in all aspects of residential school life.
What You'll Do
You will be a builder, mentor, and innovator. Your role will include:

• Designing and launching a Computer Science program that reflects your experience and the vision of St. Mark's School, from foundational courses in coding to advanced electives in areas like robotics, AI, data science, or app design

• Creating hands-on, project-based learning experiences that inspire students to tinker, experiment, and think like coders, engineers and entrepreneurs

• Advising a small group of students and fostering their growth academically and personally

• Guiding students in robotics, coding competitions, or independent projects that bring their ideas to life

• Collaborating with colleagues across disciplines to connect Computer Science with art, math, science, and beyond

• Engaging fully in community life: coaching, supervising residential evenings, participating in Saturday classes or programs, and more

What We're Looking For

• A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (advanced degree a plus, but not required)

• Teaching and/or coaching experience is welcome but not essential; what matters most is your ability to inspire, mentor, and engage young learners

• Comfort with programming languages, robotics, or emerging technologies

• Creativity in designing curriculum and a willingness to experiment with new ideas

• A commitment to community, mentoring, and the full life of a residential school

• Strong communication, organization, and collaboration skills

Why You'll Love It Here

• A warm, close-knit community of students and colleagues

• Generous benefits: housing, meals, health coverage, tuition remission

• Access to campus facilities, from the fitness center to nature trails

• The freedom to imagine and build a brand-new program

• Daily opportunities to make a difference both inside and outside the classroom

Salary Range: $50,000 - $90,000. Pay is commensurate with experience.
