Teaching environment:
Green Acres School offers a collegial work environment, competitive salaries, a benefits package that is among the best in the area, and opportunities for professional development. Mentoring of new staff helps to facilitate connection to the Green Acres Community. Many of our teachers have worked at Green Acres for 20 years or more.

Teachers work collaboratively to develop an integrated curriculum, and the child is our core unit of consideration in all school decisions.  We are seeking teaching applicants who value experiential learning, thematic teaching, community service, and helping children to build connection to the natural world.

Founded as a progressive school in 1934, Green Acres School is located on a 15-acre campus in suburban Washington, DC. Small classes, a nurturing environment, and a developmentally based, experiential curriculum help children in Pre-K to 8th grade to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and a love for learning. The mission of Green Acres drives the school:

…Valuing acceptance of a variety of viewpoints, this community promotes socio-economic and cultural diversity. An environment of trust, cooperation and mutual respect encourages students to become increasingly independent thinkers and responsible contributors to an ever-changing, multicultural world.
