The Pingry School seeks dynamic and intellectually engaging teachers to join a diverse academic community. While our hiring season tends to run from late January through early April, we are always excited to make connections with outstanding candidates. Teaching candidates should be committed to helping young people construct their understanding of the discipline in a student-centered classroom environment. We are searching for collaborative teachers with an eye for the teachable moment when moral and ethical questions arise in and out of the classroom. Subject area expertise and an excitement for sharing passions with young people are expected.

The Pingry School prides itself on a rich history of academic and athletic success. Developing student-athletes of equal passion and character is a priority of our program. We offer over 80 different teams in the Middle and Upper Schools and over 90% of our Upper School students play at least one interscholastic sport. From fielding championship teams to encouraging participation among our youngest students, we aim to cultivate athletic excellence.

An important key to our success is our coaches, who are committed to the physical, emotional, and psychological development of our athletes. Pingry seeks to hire coaches who will mentor and motivate student-athletes in their sport while emphasizing their holistic growth. In accordance with Pingry’s Honor Code, we expect coaches to promote qualities such as teamwork, resilience, hard work, and honorable behavior.

Qualifications
• Previous participation in the sport at the high school level (college preferred).
• Previous coaching experience in a school setting preferred.
• Availability to travel to and from athletics practices and contests, which may occur on weekends.

To apply for a listed coaching position, please submit a cover letter and resume to Ms. Carter Abbott, Director of Athletics.

All newly-hired faculty who hold bachelor's degrees will continue their education with a master's or other advanced degree within four years of their start of employment. In turn, Pingry provides full financial support, or a loan-forgiveness rate of 20% per year for a five-year period (faculty who remain at the school for the full five years receive 100% forgiveness). Currently, approximately 70% of Pingry faculty members have earned a master’s degree or higher and more than 20 of our teachers have earned doctorates.

Pingry awards nine endowed chairs that recognize outstanding teaching, dedication to students, and contributions to school life. Teachers are always encouraged to propose new courses and approaches that they believe will enhance the curriculum and benefit the students.

Pingry encourages teachers to pursue their passions and get to know their students outside the classroom by coaching a team, advising a club, or assisting with a drama production. In every instance, we encourage teachers to strike a balance between “investing” (trying something new) and “harvesting” (working with an existing passion).

All full-time Pingry faculty members are eligible to apply for summer fellowships, which typically involve a summer project or trip aimed at enhancing their understanding of the subject area they teach. Teachers have the flexibility to propose their own ideas for approval one year in advance of their summer program.

Pingry is supportive of faculty and staff who wish to further their work by attending educational sessions, workshops, or conferences, whether held at Pingry or on an off-site location.
