Friends School is a Quaker, co-educational, college preparatory school, Pre-K through Grade 12, in Baltimore City, enrolling 872 students, 35% of whom identify as children of color. We are guided by the Quaker ideals of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship.  We strive for our community to reflect the racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and religious diversity of our city.

Friends School faculty members teach by example, blending intellectual exploration, enthusiasm, and joy.  Every day in their classrooms, they challenge and encourage students to think deeply, to question, and to seek truth, while instilling in each of them a strong sense of social responsibility, a willingness to embrace challenges, and an awareness of their potential as individuals.

Friends School teachers are expected to model and foster the habits of mind we believe are essential to an outstanding education: creativity, curiosity, empathy, reflection, and resilience.  We seek faculty members whose teaching styles and experiences demonstrate:

• A record of successful collaboration with colleagues
• A commitment to lifelong learning, and ongoing professional development
• The infusion of technology to enhance student learning
• The teaching of research and information literacy skills
• The use of a diversity of assessment techniques that provoke students' critical thinking
• Teaching and learning experiences that enhance students' communication skills
• Experience with and openness to interdisciplinary teaching
• A desire to understand diverse attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and practices and incorporate a global perspective into teaching and learning

Friends School of Baltimore actively promotes equity, diversity, and inclusion in all programs and operations, including admissions, financial aid, and hiring. To form a community which strives to reflect the world's diversity, we do not discriminate on the basis of race or color, religion, nationality, ethnicity, economic background, physical ability, sex, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation. Friends School of Baltimore is an equal opportunity employer. Candidates of color and members of other underrepresented groups who might enrich and diversify the school community are strongly encouraged to apply.
