Westtown School is seeking experienced substitute teachers for our Lower School, which encompasses grades Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade. The ideal candidates will possess a deep understanding of the cognitive and social-emotional development of elementary school children. We are looking for substitute teachers who are available for per diem assignments as well as longer-term substitute roles for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year. At Westtown, we are committed to supporting and challenging our students to reach their full potential—intellectually, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Our classrooms foster a spirit of inquiry, encouraging students to think creatively, empathize with others, and engage in self-reflection. The educational experience at Westtown is characterized by rigorous academic preparation for college, community living in a diverse environment, and a commitment to service, all underpinned by Quaker values. We expect our students to develop into critical, independent thinkers who can collaborate effectively while respecting diverse perspectives. The Westtown experience is enriched by weekly Meetings for Worship and a curriculum that emphasizes peace, justice, and respect for all individuals. Our beautiful 600-acre campus, located in suburban West Chester, PA, is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, where our dedicated faculty and staff inspire students to become responsible stewards and leaders in their communities.
