Ideal candidates foster collaborative, student-centered classrooms where discussion, inquiry, and intellectual risk-taking are central. They have experience guiding students through research and writing processes, including document-based inquiry, creating a strong variety of assessments, and are skilled at supporting students in developing their analytical voice with clarity and confidence. The ideal candidate is attentive to the diverse needs of learners and is committed to creating an environment in which all students feel known, respected, and empowered to grow.

Beyond the classroom, Upper School teachers at Marymount serve as academic advisors and contribute to the broader life of the school by moderating at least one student club or activity. They collaborate closely with colleagues, communicate regularly with families, and engage fully in the school community.
