Georgetown Visitation, founded in 1799, is an all-girls high school rooted in the Roman Catholic faith and Salesian tradition, committed to educating young women from diverse backgrounds. We are a faith-centered community dedicated to educational excellence, enriched by co-curricular and service programs. We guide our students as they integrate the search for truth with the pursuit of knowledge and dedicate their God-given gifts to making the world a better place.
Visitation is currently searching for a full-time history teacher for the 2025 - 2026 school year. The ideal candidate is energetic and eager to educate and guide young women at this critical time in their lives, as well as to collaborate closely with department colleagues to create an excellent, comprehensive, and cohesive history and social science program at the school. Additionally, candidates should be able to challenge talented young women to grow in critical thinking and creative problem solving as well as implement teaching methods that serve diverse learning styles.
Successful candidates should have a strong academic background in modern world history and human geography with previous teaching experience in the subject at the secondary level, along with energy, enthusiasm, and a desire to communicate and work with young women. Advanced Placement (AP) experience is preferred but not required. In addition to teaching, faculty also attend school-wide events and regular departmental and faculty meetings. A bachelor’s degree in a related field is required; a master’s degree is preferred.
As educators in the Visitation tradition, our teachers form lives as well as impart knowledge. We seek to create challenging and joyful classrooms that cultivate a lifelong love of learning. To learn more about what it means to be a Visitation educator, we encourage you to read Educating the Mind and Heart, which outlines the six goals of a Visitation education.
