Oak Grove School, a small pre-K through 12th-grade progressive in Ojai, California, is seeking an experienced second-grade homeroom Teacher. We thrive as a community that builds character and confidence while celebrating the joy of learning. We are dedicated to providing an experiential education characterized by a thoughtful balance of academic rigor and creative expression, one that keeps the student at the center and nurtures the whole child.
There is a special emphasis on social-emotional development in our school, based on the values of community and empathy. We see children as capable and support them in developing the tools and skills needed to participate in cooperative interactions, resolve conflicts peacefully, stand up for themselves and others, and be active, responsible members of a group.
At Oak Grove, we are committed to fostering in children the sense of well-being and confidence that enables a better understanding of oneself and others. We offer an inclusive, integrated, caring, and explorative experience that also reflects the philosophical underpinnings of the school as expressed in the Arts of Living & Learning (inquiry, communication, academia, engagement, aesthetics, and care/relationship to self, others, the environment, and the world).
Oak Grove is a joyful and supportive place to work—a rich environment where you will find enthusiastic cooperation, healthy relationships with colleagues, and active professional development.
