Employment

Presidio Hill School teachers create a culture of expectation and inspiration for their students. They understand the inevitability of change and have in their power the ability to shape that change to the advantage of their students.  

Presidio Hill teachers also understand their responsibility to keep learning as they grow and develop alongside their students. Instead of aspiring to be a community of the learned, we strive to be a community of learners. The teaching methodology is grounded in progressive tradition and includes many elements.

• Engage students in questions and actions focused on environmental responsibility and stewardship.
• Have an international, global perspective through travel, living abroad, reading and other means.
• Create multicultural units of study and model a respect for diversity and inclusion.
• Know something about motivation and attribution theory and use this knowledge to create an ethos fostering intrinsic motivation.
• Model and teach ethical values and character.

If you are interested in working in an environment that expects collegiality and cooperation, stresses teacher as well as student growth, and offers small classes within a dynamic, diverse and supportive community of students, parents and fellow teachers in one of the finest and most interesting cities in the world, let us hear from you.

Presidio Hill School for Pre-service and Early-service Educators 

Presidio Hill School is committed to supporting pre-service and early-service educators. Through partnerships with Bay Area teacher education programs such as the Bay Area Teacher Training Institute (BATTI) and other local institutions, we host apprentices, interns, student-teachers, and early-career teachers who are completing their credential and Master’s level work. Educators spend one to two years both attending classes to learn the theoretical foundations of good teaching and working in Presidio Hill classrooms with mentor teachers to practice implementing progressive approaches with students. Graduates of these programs go on to teach in public and independent schools throughout the Bay Area and beyond.
