St. Patrick’s seeks an enthusiastic, collaborative, and student-centered teacher to join our vibrant PK3–Grade 8 community of 465 learners in the heart of Washington, DC. At St. Patrick’s, students shine infinitely brighter as they discover their talents and stretch toward their full potential, grow infinitely stronger by developing their values, spirituality, and character, and care infinitely more as they gain confidence in their roles as compassionate global citizens.
Kindergarten classrooms at St. Patrick’s use a co-teaching model. Co-Teachers collaborate to work with alignment on all matters to create a classroom that meets the developmental realities of Kindergarten students. Co-Homeroom Teachers play a central role in fostering a love of learning, building a strong sense of community within their classrooms, and instilling the skills and competencies in students to help them thrive in a range of school settings. Co-Homeroom Teachers cultivate a warm, inclusive classroom environment where students feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow academically, socially, and emotionally through the teaching team’s planning and collaborative structures. Acting as the primary point of contacts for their students, Co-Homeroom Teachers collaborate closely with Special-Subject Teachers, Learning Specialists, School Counselors and families to ensure the success of each child. They teach core subjects such as language arts (reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary), social studies, and math, while integrating social-emotional learning and equity, diversity, and inclusion principles into daily instruction. In partnership with Learning Specialists, who provide additional academic support and extension, and Special-Subject Teachers in religion, science, art, music, Spanish, library, technology, and physical education, Co-Homeroom Teachers create an enriching experience for every student.
At St. Patrick’s, strong partnerships with families are key to student success. Co-Homeroom Teachers collaborate to foster open, proactive communication with parents through:
Presentations at Back-to-School Night and parent events;
Scheduled Parent-Teacher Conferences and detailed narrative reports each trimester;
Regular updates on student progress, including the timely return of assignments with feedback;
Interim reports for students requiring additional attention or support; and,
Maintaining regular communications including announcements, curricular updates, and, when appropriate, photos of student engagement and experiences.
Beyond instruction, Co-Homeroom Teachers manage and share essential daily tasks such as taking attendance, posting schedules, setting-up lessons,
and supervising lunch and recess. Teachers proactively address academic, behavioral, or social challenges, working in partnership with parents and the Head of Lower School and School Counselors to recommend interventions or additional support as needed.
The school day begins with Homeroom Teachers arriving at 7:45 am to prepare classrooms, plan activities, and connect with colleagues. Teachers welcome students at 8:00 am, with classes beginning promptly at 8:05 am. The day concludes with teachers overseeing carpool at 2:50 pm, assisting students as needed until 3:45 pm. A typical lower school classroom has between 15 and 18 students. See thissample schedule to better understand the planning periods available to teachers and the typical flow of our six-day rotation.
The ideal candidate for the Homeroom Teacher position will possess:
A bachelor’s degree in education or a related field (master’s degree preferred);
Three to five years of successful teaching experience;
A deep understanding of elementary-age child development and diverse learning needs;
Expertise in reading and mathematics instruction;
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal;
A collaborative, collegial approach to working with others; and,
Successful completion of the ongoing background checks and maintenance of Safeguarding God’s Children Certification (one day course every couple years).

The program:
The St. Patrick’s student experience is joyful and intentional. Here, students spend their formative school years discovering new strengths and stretching their skills. Dynamic opportunities, purposeful programming, differentiated instruction, and masterful teaching across subject areas build students into compassionate collaborators, flexible thinkers, and adept problem solvers. Early Childhood is intentional and play-based, Lower School challenges and engages, and Middle School is a launching pad for success.
We encourage our educators to bring their unique ideas and teaching approaches to life, broadening existing areas of study and introducing new methods to enrich the learning experience. Faculty use a range of instructional frameworks for classroom instruction to reflect the mission of fostering academic excellence, character development and SEL, and lifelong learning. Through team meetings and collaboration, teachers build curriculum using a variety of resources. We maximize the power of our professional educators, who know their students best. Additionally, we research the best curriculum commercially available and include it as one of the resources available to teachers. The classroom community, cultivated by the Homeroom Teacher, respects the diverse needs, abilities, and interests of each student, encouraging creativity, critical thinking, and innovation.
Students graduate with a strong foundation, deep curiosity, and an enthusiasm for learning, developing integrity, empathy, and a sense of purpose in order to make their mark on the world.
Our school is rooted in the Episcopal tradition as expressed through our values. We recognize the infinite value of all community members as children of God. As such, the belief in the power of relationships and our continued work in equity, diversity, inclusion, justice, and belonging, reflects our Episcopal Identity. We are proud to be an Episcopal School. That also means families of all faiths—and those who do not practice a faith tradition—are warmly welcomed here.
Our chapels are inclusive, supporting students in standing in their own faith or beliefs while being open to others’ experiences and traditions. Chapels seek to build community, recognize significant cultural traditions and holidays, and develop moral character through liturgy, children’s books, and community speakers. Each of our chapels is designed to ensure feelings of inclusion and belonging—a hallmark of Episcopal Schools.
“I love being in DC. It offers so many great options for field trips that bring our studies to life. I also love being in the city for my personal life as it is a hub of culture from the Kennedy Center, to Union Market, to amazing restaurants and the broad range of free opportunities.” --Middle School Teacher
“St. Patrick’s is an amazing place to work. Every single one of my colleagues is an amazing teacher who really cares about each child. The students love coming to school everyday and are so happy and eager to learn.”--Lower School Homeroom Teacher
St. Patrick’s values professional growth as an integral part of a teacher’s journey. Faculty members set annual goals in collaboration with growth coaches, engage in regular faculty meetings, and participate in schoolwide initiatives and committees. With generous resources and opportunities for development, teachers are encouraged to stay current with best practices and bring new ideas to their classrooms.
In addition to workshops, courses, and conferences, St. Patrick’s offers innovation grants to teams or individuals to pursue the development of signature programs for the school.
Our faculty regularly present at conferences, sharing their curriculum and expertise. Each year, we send Faculty and Staff to NAIS PoCC and NAIS Annual Conference. We are active members of NAES, AIMS, and ISM. Our teachers are trained in Positive Discipline and Responsive Classroom. We enjoy new learning opportunities through Project Zero, Teachers College, GOA, and Leadership + Design.
As part of professional growth, St. Patrick’s seeks to create opportunities to develop leadership skills, from running in-house courses to appointing grade-level team leaders. We strive to create spaces for building new skills. Some examples of leadership opportunities include faculty growth coaching, participating in the faculty onboarding team, supporting task force work, representing the faculty on the Board of Trustees, or running one of our many affinity groups.
The school contributes 7.5% of employees’ base salaries to the TIAA/CREF Retirement Annuity program, and employees contribute 2.5% of their base salaries.
Health insurance is provided through CareFirst BlueChoice. The premium is split between the school and the employee, with each paying 50%. Employees can select between HMO and Point of Service (POS) plans.
Parental Leave for both birthing and non-birthing parents, up to 14 and 6 week respectively.
Two times your salary in life insurance.
Onsite parking, reduced lunch fees, free extended day for enrolled students, and three faculty & staff parties a year are just some examples of the way we care for faculty & staff.

St. Patrick’s is a co-educational Episcopal parish day school that opened its doors to children 67 years
ago, having been created by resolution of the Vestry of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church in 1956. Located in
the Palisades section of Northwest Washington, D.C., and beginning with a Nursery School for 6
students in the Church basement, the Day School has blossomed into a Nursery to Grade 8 institution
for 475 students on two beautifully appointed academic campuses and a third housing an expansive
athletic field and outdoor garden and learning center. As an Episcopal School, St. Patrick’s welcomes
community members of all faiths as well as community members who do not practice a faith tradition.
Community members are encouraged to stand in their own faith or beliefs and be open to all.
In 2017, a 19,000 square foot Middle School was opened for students in Grades 6, 7, and 8. Additionally,
the School provides a robust, nurturing, play-based program for infants and toddlers, which is
celebrating its 32 nd year. Recently revitalized outdoor play and learning spaces reinforce creative,
healthy, and vigorous play and dramatically expand learning opportunities. The award-winn...ing
Environmental Sustainability Program, with a commitment to outdoor education and stewardship of our
planet, has evolved into one of the pillars of the student experience at St. Patrick’s.
Tremendous care and thoughtfulness devoted to child-centered academic programming and teaching
space design, coupled with a strong sense of joy and belonging, are the hallmarks of this school. The
long- tenured faculty and staff devote themselves to providing excellence in education within the
Episcopal tradition, while celebrating the whole child, helping to guide their students toward self-
discovery, cultivation of their strengths, growth of personal integrity, and development into their best
selves.
